Nutrition has a significant impact on the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome, which can influence pig metabolism, nutrient absorption, biomolecule synthesis, and bioavailability (including bile acids and short-chain fatty acids), as well as colonization resistance to GI pathogens and overall disease tolerance through immune maturation and regulation. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of functional amino acid supplementation on the fecal microbiome of pigs allocated into GOOD vs. POOR sanitary conditions (SC) over time, using 16S rRNA data. A total of 120 female growing pigs were randomly assigned in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement (n = 30/treatment), consisting of two sanitary conditions (GOOD vs. POOR) and two diets [control (CN; 100% NRC, 2012) vs. supplemented with AA (Trp, Thr, and Met+Cys: Lys ratios increased to 20% higher than CN)]. Pigs were allocated to the GOOD SC group and were sham-inoculated, and the barn was kept clean, whereas pigs housed under POOR SC were challenged with Typhimurium, in addition to the spreading fecal material from a commercial farm undergoing poor growth performance. Fecal samples were collected at day post-challenge (DPC) 0, 10, and 21, and extracted DNA was sequenced for 16S rRNA data analysis. Although alpha-diversity analysis revealed minor, statistically significant changes between groups, beta-diversity analysis demonstrated a significant separation between communities based on sanitary conditions at DPC 21. Accordingly, the most important taxa differentiating the two groups were the enrichment of the following taxa in the POOR group at DPC 21: , , , , , , , , and . Network and correlation structural analysis further revealed a sub-structuring of the data, with positive correlations forming in the POOR SC group: Sub-cluster 1 (, , , , and ) and Sub-cluster 2 (, , , , , and ). In conclusion, temporal changes in the fecal swine microbiome of growing pigs reflected the Typhimurium challenge and poor sanitary status despite a dietary surplus of functional amino acids.
营养对胃肠道(GI)微生物群有重大影响,而胃肠道微生物群会影响猪的新陈代谢、营养吸收、生物分子合成及生物利用度(包括胆汁酸和短链脂肪酸),还会通过免疫成熟和调节影响对胃肠道病原体的定植抗性及整体疾病耐受性。本研究的目的是利用16S rRNA数据,评估功能性氨基酸补充剂对处于良好与恶劣卫生条件(SC)下的猪的粪便微生物群随时间的影响。总共120头雌性生长猪按2×2析因设计随机分配(每组n = 30),包括两种卫生条件(良好与恶劣)和两种日粮[对照(CN;100% NRC,2012)与补充氨基酸(色氨酸、苏氨酸和蛋氨酸+半胱氨酸:赖氨酸比例比CN提高20%)]。猪被分配到良好SC组并进行假接种,猪舍保持清洁,而处于恶劣SC条件下的猪除了接触来自生长性能差的商业农场的粪便外,还受到鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的攻击。在攻毒后第0、10和21天采集粪便样本,提取DNA进行16S rRNA数据分析。虽然α多样性分析显示组间有微小的、统计学上显著的变化,但β多样性分析表明在攻毒后第21天基于卫生条件群落之间有显著分离。因此,区分两组的最重要分类群是在攻毒后第21天恶劣组中以下分类群的富集: , , , , , , , ,和 。网络和相关结构分析进一步揭示了数据的亚结构,在恶劣SC组中形成正相关:亚群1( , , , ,和 )和亚群2( , , , , ,和 )。总之,尽管功能性氨基酸日粮充足,但生长猪粪便微生物群的时间变化反映了鼠伤寒沙门氏菌攻击和恶劣的卫生状况。
