Effects of Selected Probiotics and Prebiotics on Growth Performance and Gut Microbiota in Growing Pigs

초록/요약

It has been reported that dietary probiotics and prebiotics may help improve growth performance and alter gut microbiota pattern in pigs. The aim of this study was to find beneficial effect in respect to growth performance and gut microbiota by feeding selected probiotics and prebiotics to growing pigs. L84-02 were tolerant to gastric and bile acidic condition. These strains showed higher ability to scavenge free radical compared than other strains in this study. L84-02, P13-02 and KJP421 inhibited Yersinia enterocolitica (Y. enterocolitica) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) via their live cells or metabolites. In addition, it was observed that 3 strains exert not only protease, amylase, xylanase and phytase activities but also other enzymes related to prebiotics decomposition such as β-galactosidase. Other carbohydrates such as D-fructose and D-raffinose were decomposed by L84-02 and P13-02, and inulin was broken down by KJP421. These bacteria were considered to grow in fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and MQN media. L84-02, P13-02 and KJP421 were identified as Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri), Pediococcus pentosaceus (P. pentosaceus) and Lactobacillus planatarum (L. plantarum) respectively. Production of nitric oxide (NO) from murine-derived macrophage was reduced to the level of control at 108 CFU/mL of 3 strains. It was shown that treatment of 3 strains reduced the relative mRNA expression level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), whereas elavating that of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The gene expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF- α) and toll-like receptor-2 (TLR-2) was lowered L84-02 and P13-02 treatmnet. Gut microbiota of growing pigs was altered by feeding prebiotics only or synbiotic which were combinations of prebiotics and each selected strain. Prebiotics only and synbiotic groups diminished relative amount of Prevotella and E. coli in feces. Furthermore, when prebiotics and KJP421 were treated together, the fold change of fecal Bacteroidetes was the lowest among groups showing the highest ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes. In conclusion, selected bacteria L84-02, P13-02 and KJP421 were effective when treated with FOS and MQN to change gut environment influencing the relative amount of fecal Bacteroidetes and E. coli in growing pigs.
