簡單摘要

暴露在高溫環(huán)境蝦引發(fā)的熱應(yīng)激是亞熱帶地區(qū)家禽面臨的主要健康問題之一，嚴(yán)重影響其健康與生產(chǎn)性能。本研究旨在評估飼糧中添加三丁酸甘油酯對羽雞在周期性熱應(yīng)激（CHS）條件下生長性能、肉質(zhì)、肌肉氧化狀態(tài)及腸道菌群的影響。結(jié)果表明，周期性熱應(yīng)激顯著降低了生長性能并損害肉質(zhì)，而飼糧中添加三丁酸甘油酯可部分緩解熱應(yīng)激對這些指標(biāo)的負(fù)面影響。此外，三丁酸甘油酯通過增強(qiáng)肌肉抗氧化能力改善肉質(zhì)，這一作用被認(rèn)為與激活Nrf2信號通路相關(guān)。這些發(fā)現(xiàn)為開發(fā)羽雞抗熱應(yīng)激飼料添加劑提供了重要依據(jù)。

Simple Summary

High ambient temperature exposure-induced heat stress is one of the major problems in subtropical regions, severely affecting poultry health and production. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of dietary tributyrin supplementation on growth performance, meat quality, muscle oxidative status, and gut microbiota in Taihe silky fowls under cyclic heat stress (CHS) conditions. The results demonstrated that CHS remarkably reduced growth performance and impaired meat quality, while dietary tributyrin supplementation partially alleviated the adverse effects of CHS on these parameters. Additionally, tributyrin supplementation improved meat quality by enhancing muscle antioxidant capacity, which is believed to be associated with activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. These findings are useful for the development of anti-heat stress feed additives in Taihe silky fowls.

Abstract

Heat stress adversely affects poultry production and meat quality, leading to economic losses. This study aimed to investigate the effects of adding tributyrin on growth performance, meat quality, muscle oxidative status, and gut microbiota of Taihe silky fowls under cyclic heat stress (CHS) conditions. In this study, 120-day-old Taihe silky fowls (male) were randomly divided into six dietary treatments. These treatments included a normal control treatment (NC, fed a basal diet), a heat stress control treatment (HS, fed a basal diet), and HS control treatments supplemented with 0.04%,0.08%, 0.16%, and 0.32% tributyrin, respectively. The NC treatment group was kept at 24±1℃,while the HS treatment birds were exposed to 34 ±1℃ for 8 h/d for 4 weeks. Results showed that CHS decreased growth performance and compromised the meat quality of broilers (p< 0.05).However, tributyrin supplementation improved ADG and FCR in broilers exposed to CHS (p< 0.05).Additionally, tributyrin supplementation resulted in increased shear force value and GSH-Px activity,as well as a decrease in drip loss, ether extract content, and MDA content of the breast muscle in broilers under CHS (p<0.05). Furthermore, tributyrin supplementation up-regulated the mRNA expressions of Nrf2, NQO1, HO-1, SOD, and GSH-Px of the breast muscle in broilers exposed to CHS (p<0.05). Based on these positive effects, the study delved deeper to investigate the impact of 0.16% tributyrin supplementation (HS+0.16%T) on the cecum microbiota. The HS+0.16%T treatment showed an increase in the relative abundance of Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group (p< 0.05) and a trend towards an increase in Lactobacillus (p= 0.096) compared to the HS treatment. The results indicate that supplementation successfully improved the growth performance and meat quality of Taihe silky fowls. Furthermore, tributyrin supplementation, particularly at levels of 0.16%, improved meat quality by enhancing muscle antioxidant capacity, which is believed to be associated with activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway.
