Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) can regulate the synthesis of 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and melatonin (MT). In a previous metabolome analysis, we found that 5-HTP is an effective ingredient in yeast culture for regulating rumen fermentation. However, research on the effect of this microbial product (5-HTP) as a functional feed additive in sheep production is still not well explained. Therefore, this study examined the effects of 5-HTP on sheep rumen function and growth performance using and models.
A two-factor in vitro experiment involving different 5-HTP doses and fermentation times was conducted. Then, in the experiment, 10 sheep were divided into a control group which was fed a basal diet, and a 5-HTP group supplemented with 8 mg/kg 5-HTP for 60 days.
The results showed that 5-HTP supplementation had a significant effect on DMD, pH, NH-N, acetic acid, propionic acid, and TVFA concentrations. 5-HTP altered rumen bacteria composition and diversity indices including Chao1, Shannon, and Simpson. Moreover, the study on sheep confirmed that supplementing with 8 mg/kg of 5-HTP improved rumen fermentation efficiency and microbial composition. This led to enhanced sheep growth performance and increased involvement in the tryptophan metabolic pathway, suggesting potential benefits.
Dietary 5-HTP (8 mg/kg DM) improves sheep growth performance by enhancing ruminal functions, antioxidant capacity, and tryptophan metabolism. This study can provide a foundation for the development of 5-HTP as a functional feed additive in ruminants' production.
羟基色氨酸（5-HTP）可以调节 5-羟色氨酸（5-HT）和褪黑素（MT）的合成。在之前的代谢组学分析中，我们发现 5-HTP 是一种调节瘤胃发酵的酵母培养物的有效成分。然而，作为绵羊生产中功能性饲料添加剂的这种微生物产品（5-HTP）的研究仍未得到很好的解释。因此，本研究使用 和 模型研究了 5-HTP 对绵羊瘤胃功能和生长性能的影响。
进行了一项涉及不同 5-HTP 剂量和发酵时间的双因素体外试验。然后，在 试验中，将 10 只绵羊分为对照组，饲喂基础日粮，5-HTP 组在基础日粮中添加 8mg/kg 5-HTP，试验期 60 天。
结果表明，5-HTP 补充剂对 DMD、pH、NH3-N、乙酸、丙酸和 TVFA 浓度有显著影响。5-HTP 改变了瘤胃细菌组成和多样性指数，包括 Chao1、Shannon 和 Simpson。此外，绵羊的 研究证实，补充 8mg/kg 的 5-HTP 可提高瘤胃发酵效率和微生物组成。这导致绵羊生长性能提高，并增加了色氨酸代谢途径的参与，表明具有潜在的益处。
日粮 5-HTP（8mg/kg DM）通过增强瘤胃功能、抗氧化能力和色氨酸代谢来提高绵羊的生长性能。本研究可为 5-HTP 作为反刍动物生产中功能性饲料添加剂的开发提供基础。
