Early weaning results in intestinal dysfunction in piglets, while sulfur amino acids (SAA) are involved in improving intestinal functions. We tested a hypothesis that dietary supplementation with SAA can improve intestinal functions of weaning piglets and analyzed the effects of different dietary SAA levels on intestinal functions. A total of 80 piglets (Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire) were weaned at 21 d of age and randomly assigned to one of the five diets that contained 0.53%, 0.63%, 0.74%, 0.85%, or 0.96% SAA, which corresponded to 70%, 85%, 100%, 115%, or 130% of the SAA:Lys ratio recommended by the National Research Council (2012). The 14 d feeding experiment involved 16 pens per diet and one piglet per pen. Eight randomly selected piglets from each treatment were euthanized for tissue sampling on day 7 and 14 post weaning. Supplementation with SAA led to a rise over time in G:F (linear, P = 0.001; quadratic, P = 0.001). Between day 0 and 14 of treatment, the jejunal crypt depth decreased (linear, P = 0.018; quadratic, P = 0.015), while that of the duodenal villus (linear, P = 0.049) and ileal villus width (linear, P = 0.029; quadratic, P = 0.034) increased. The activities of jejunal alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were quadratically increased (P = 0.040) from day 0 to 14 due to dietary SAA. Dietary SAA also elevated the activities of jejunal lactase (linear, P = 0.003; quadratic, P = 0.004), jejunal sucrase (linear, P = 0.032; quadratic, P = 0.027), and jejunal contents of glutathione (GSH) from day 0 to 7, as well as the activity of jejunal maltase (linear, P = 0.014; quadratic, P = 0.001) between day 0 and 14. During the first wk, dietary SAA linearly increased the amounts of intestinal-type fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) (P = 0.048) and SGLT-1 (P = 0.021) and linearly decreased the amount of GLUT2 (P = 0.029) proteins in the jejunum. The abundance of jejunal I-FABP (P = 0.044) and PEPT1 (P = 0.049) protein linearly increased from day 0 to 14 in response to this supplementation. These findings indicate that there is a dose-dependent response to dietary SAA on feed efficiency and intestinal parameters of weanling pigs.
早期断奶会导致仔猪肠道功能障碍,而含硫氨基酸(SAA)可改善肠道功能。我们提出了一个假设,即膳食补充 SAA 可以改善断奶仔猪的肠道功能,并分析了不同膳食 SAA 水平对肠道功能的影响。总共 80 头(杜洛克×长白×约克夏)仔猪在 21 日龄断奶,并随机分配到五种日粮中的一种,日粮中 SAA 的含量分别为 0.53%、0.63%、0.74%、0.85%或 0.96%,分别相当于推荐的 SAA:Lys 比(2012 年)的 70%、85%、100%、115%或 130%。14 天的喂养试验中,每种日粮有 16 个栏位,每个栏位有 1 头仔猪。在断奶后第 7 天和第 14 天,从每个处理中随机选择 8 头仔猪进行组织取样。随着时间的推移,SAA 的补充导致 G:F 升高(线性,P = 0.001;二次,P = 0.001)。在处理的第 0 天到第 14 天之间,空肠隐窝深度降低(线性,P = 0.018;二次,P = 0.015),而十二指肠绒毛(线性,P = 0.049)和回肠绒毛宽度(线性,P = 0.029;二次,P = 0.034)增加。由于膳食 SAA,空肠碱性磷酸酶(ALP)的活性在第 0 天到第 14 天之间呈二次增加(P = 0.040)。膳食 SAA 还提高了空肠乳糖酶(线性,P = 0.003;二次,P = 0.004)、空肠蔗糖酶(线性,P = 0.032;二次,P = 0.027)和空肠谷胱甘肽(GSH)的活性(线性,P = 0.014;二次,P = 0.001),以及空肠麦芽糖酶(线性,P = 0.014;二次,P = 0.001)的活性从第 0 天到第 14 天。在第 1 周,膳食 SAA 线性增加了肠道型脂肪酸结合蛋白(I-FABP)(P = 0.048)和 SGLT-1(P = 0.021)的数量,并线性降低了 GLUT2(P = 0.029)的数量在空肠中的蛋白质含量。空肠 I-FABP(P = 0.044)和 PEPT1(P = 0.049)蛋白的丰度从第 0 天到第 14 天呈线性增加,这是对这种补充的反应。这些发现表明,膳食 SAA 对断奶仔猪的饲料效率和肠道参数有剂量依赖性反应。
