The data included 74 683 LW phenotypes recorded from 10 052 birds aged between 20 and 410 days (d) of age. Statistical analysis included single trait (ST), MT and RR analysis in a linear mixed model framework using the ASREML V4.2 software.3.

The <i>P. mirabilis</i> isolates from the slaughterhouses exhibited higher levels of antibiotic resistance and a more pronounced MDR phenomenon than those from poultry farms and retail markets. The proportion of isolates carrying the most commonly detected resistant and virulence genes was higher in samples from poultry farms and slaughterhouses as opposed to retail markets. Importantly, there was genetic similarity and heterogeneity among <i>P. mirabilis</i> isolates from the three sources and genotypic diversity was the highest among isolates from retail markets, followed by slaughterhouses and poultry farms.</p>","PeriodicalId":9322,"journal":{"name":"British Poultry Science","volume":" ","pages":"505-514"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143032299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The avian gut hosts a complex and dynamic microbial ecosystem, which is essential for regulating host organ function. However, the relationship between the gut microbiota and the hypothalamic axis in acute stress vulnerability in ducks remains unclear.2. This study investigated how the gut microbiota affects microbial metabolism and the host stress response by comparing hypothalamic neurotransmitter availability, microbial composition and co-metabolites generated by both the microbiota and hypothalamus in ducks exhibiting the lowest active avoidance (LAA) and highest active avoidance (HAA) behaviour.3. The HAA group experienced a significant increase in the availability of arginine, histidine, glutamine, norepinephrine, L-tyrosine and melatonin during acute stress in the hypothalamus, compared to that in the LAA group. The 16S rRNA sequencing revealed significant differences in the gut microbiota composition based on acute stress vulnerabilities.4. Both caecal and hypothalamic metabolomic analyses identified 71 metabolites altered in caecal content and 95 in the hypothalamus. There was significant enrichment in pathways such as the cGMP-PKG signalling, dopaminergic synapse and endocrine resistance.5. Correlation analyses demonstrated that certain co-metabolites, including 1,3-dicyclohexylurea, 1-deoxyvaleric acid, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, 3-chloroaniline, methenamine, N4-acetylcytidine-triphosphate and traumatin, may play a role in the gut microbiota-hypothalamic axis.6. The results suggested that the gut microbiome influenced acute stress responses. This provided a basis for understanding gut-hypothalamic communication and its impact on behaviour in ducks.</p>","PeriodicalId":9322,"journal":{"name":"British Poultry Science","volume":" ","pages":"479-488"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143603959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
