Abstract

Abstract: 【Objective】 The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of feed supplementation with avian autochthonous Bacillus coagulans BC-362 on the growth performance，antioxidant capacity and immune function of laying chicks infected with Salmonella Pullorum (SP).【Method】 150 one-day-old healthy Jinghong-1 SPF laying chicks with similar body weights were randomly divided into control group (group A)，probiotic group (group B)，SP + probiotic group (group C)，SP + antibiotic group (group D)，and SP model group (group E). Each group was comprised of 6 replicates，with five chicks per replicate. The basal diet was given to groups A，D，and E，while groups B and C were supplemented with 1.0×10⁸ CFU/g of Bacillus coagulans in the basal diet. At 7 days，groups C，D，and E were gavaged with 1.0×10⁹ CFU of SP (0.5 mL)，and groups A and B were gavaged with the same dose of sterile water. Additionally，group D was supplemented with 0.375 g/kg of neomycin sulphate in the basal diet starting from the second day of gavage. The experimental period lasted for 14 days. At 14 days，the growth performance of the chicks was measured; Blood，immune organs，and jejunum tissues were collected to determine levels of serum antioxidant and immunity，immune organ index，jejunum morphology，CD3 immunohistochemistry expression，and transcript levels of inflammatory and antioxidant-related genes.【Result】 ①Compared with group A，the average daily gain (ADG) of laying chicks in group B was significantly increased，and the feed to gain ratio (F/G) was significantly decreased (P＜0.05). In group E，both the average daily feed intake (ADFI) and ADG of laying chicks were significantly decreased (P＜0.05). Compared with group E，the ADFI and ADG of laying chicks in groups C and D were significantly increased (P＜0.05). There were no significant differences in ADFI，ADG，and F/G of laying chicks between groups C and D (P＞0.05).②Compared with group A，the activities of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) of laying chicks were significantly higher (P＜0.05) in group B, and the activities of serum SOD，CAT and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) of laying chicks were significantly decreased (P＜0.05)，while the malondialdehyde (MDA) content were significantly increased (P＜0.05) in group E.Compared with group E，serum SOD activity and T-AOC of laying chicks were increased significantly (P＜0.05)，and the MDA content of laying chicks were decreased significantly (P＜0.05) in both groups C and D. The activities of serum CAT and GSH-Px of laying chicks in group C were significantly higher than those in group D (P＜0.05). ③Compared with group A，the serum IgA and IgM contents of laying chicks were significantly higher in group B (P＜0.05)，while the serum IgA，IgM and IgG contents of laying chicks were significantly lower in group E (P＜0.05). Compared with group E，the serum IgA，IgM，and IgG contents of laying chicks were significantly increased in groups C and D (P＜0.05)，with the IgM content of laying chicks in group C was significantly higher than that in group D (P＜0.05).④Compared with group A，the thymus index of laying chicks were significantly higher in group B (P＜0.05)，and the immune organ index of laying chicks were significantly lower in group E (P＜0.05). The thymus and bursa indices of laying chicks were significantly higher in groups C and D compared to group E (P＜0.05). The spleen index of laying chicks were significantly higher in group C than that in group D (P＜0.05). ⑤Compared with group A，there was no significant difference in the number of goblet cells and CD3 expression in jejunal tissues of laying chicks in group B (P＞0.05)，while the numbers of goblet cells and CD3 expression were significantly reduced in group E (P＜0.05). The expression of CD3 in jejunal tissues of laying chicks were significantly higher in groups C and D compared to group E (P＜0.05)，and the number of goblet cells in jejunal tissues of laying chicks in group C was significantly higher than that in group D (P＜0.05).⑥Compared with group A，the relative expression of inflammation-related genes Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)，myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MYD88)，nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in jejunal tissues of laying chicks were significantly downregulate in group B (P＜0.05)，while the relative expression of antioxidant-related genes Kelch-like ECH associated protein 1 (Keap1)，glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1)，and glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC) were significantly upregulate (P＜0.05). The relative expression of inflammation-related genes TLR4，MYD88，IL-1β，NF-κB and IL-6 in jejunal tissues of laying chicks in group E was significantly upregulated (P＜0.05)，while the relative expression of antioxidant-related genes NADH quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1)，heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1)，GCLC，and nuclear factor E2-associated factor (Nrf2) were significantly downregulated (P＜0.05). In groups C and D，the relative expression of inflammation-related genes TLR4，MYD88，IL-1β，NF-κB and IL-6 of laying chicks were significantly lower than those in group E (P＜0.05)，whereas the relative expression of antioxidant-related gene NQO1 and GCLC was significantly higher than in group E (P＜0.05). Compared with group D，the relative expression of TLR4，MYD88，and IL-1β was significantly downregulate (P＜0.05)，and the relative expression of Keap1 and GCLC was significantly upregulate in group C (P＜0.05).【Conclusion】 The supplementation of avian autochthonous Bacillus coagulans BC-362 to diets improved the growth performance of SP-infected laying chicks and enhanced the body’s antioxidant and immune capabilities，thereby reducing the intestinal inflammatory response infected with SP in laying chicks.
