Reconstructing gene regulatory networks(GRNs) is an increasingly hot topic in bioinformatics. Dynamic Bayesian network(DBN) is a stochastic graph model commonly used as a vital model for GRN reconstruction. But probabilistic characteristics of biological networks and the existence of data noise bring great challenges to GRN reconstruction and always lead to many false positive/negative edges.

Heat stress (HS) leads to disturbance of homeostasis and gut microbiota. extract (MCE) has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and gut health maintenance properties. Still, the specific effects of MCE on blood biochemical indices and gut microbiota homeostasis in heat-stressed mice are not entirely understood.

This study investigated the effect of dietary Macleaya cordata extract (MCE) supplementation on the growth performance, serum parameters, and intestinal microbiota of yellow-feather broilers under heat stress. A total of 216 yellow-feather broilers (28-days-old) were randomly allotted into three groups. A control group (CON) (24 ± 2 °C) and heat stress group (HS) (35 ± 2 °C) received a basal diet, and heat-stressed plus MCE groups (HS-MCE) (35 ± 2 °C) were fed the basal diet with 1000 mg/kg MCE for 14 consecutive days.

Bopu powder and Sangrovit were developed from and are widely used in agriculture and animal husbandry, but their impurities have been rarely reported in the literature. Impurity analysis is of great importance to the quality and safety of veterinary drugs. In this study, high-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS) combined with a screening method was used to screen and characterize the impurities in Bopu powder and Sangrovit.
