Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) are significant concerns, affecting poultry health and gut microbial structure, yet their interplay remains poorly understood.
- Two feeding experiments with Jing Tint 6 laying hens assessed the effects of dietary DON (4.5 and 9.0 mg/kg) on gut microbiota, ARG profiles, and overall chicken health, revealing no major impact on growth but some liver and intestinal damage at high DON levels.
- The study found that high DON alters the gut microbiome, reducing tetracycline ARGs while increasing vancomycin ARGs, stressing the need for careful use
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the most plentiful trichothecenes occurring in food and feed, which brings severe health hazards to both animals and humans. This study aims to investigate whether sodium butyrate (NaB) can protect the porcine intestinal barrier from DON exposure through promoting mitochondrial homeostasis. In a 4-week feeding experiment, 28 male piglets were allocated according to a 2 by 2 factorial arrangement of treatments with the main factors including supplementation of DON (< 0.
