摘要

熱緊迫會嚴重影響雞隻生長性能及生理功能,早期熱處理(early-age thermal manipulation, TM)為改善雞隻熱緊迫耐受力的方法之一,可以減緩熱緊迫對雞隻生長性能及生理代謝的影響;腸道菌相可維持腸道正常功能及調控宿主代謝,熱緊迫會透過菌相-腸-腦軸(microbiota-gut-brain axis)之作用造成腸道傷害及菌相不平衡,使病原菌的豐富度增加而降低有益菌的豐富度。目前尚缺少雞隻TM對急性熱緊迫後腸道菌相影響之相關研究,因此本研究之目的為探討TM對急性熱緊迫後白肉雞及B品系台灣土雞盲腸菌相之效應。試驗使用68隻B品系雄性台灣土雞及100隻雄性Ross 308白肉雞,將一半雞隻在3日齡時接受38℃及相對溼度70%之24小時TM,另一半飼養於32℃及相對溼度70%做為對照組(control, CT),所有雞隻隨後飼養於逐漸降低至25℃及相對溼度60%之環境至28日齡,28日齡時各組雞隻再分別飼養於25℃及相對溼度70%之熱中性環境(thermal neutal, TN)與36℃及相對溼度70%的急性熱緊迫處理6小時(heat stress, HS);各處理組分別在28日齡與35日齡時逢機取8隻雞犧牲採腸道樣品,供腸道形態分析及盲腸菌相分析;盲腸內細菌16S rRNA基因V3及V4區域經擴增後以次世代定序法進行菌相分析,各組間菌相以α、β多樣性及線性判別分析進行比較,並以KEGG資料庫搜尋其可能參與的生物路徑。結果顯示TM使白肉雞7日齡體重及體增重顯著低於對照組;TM也使B品系台灣土雞14至28日齡直腸溫度顯著高於對照組,並使TMTN組雞隻直腸溫度顯著較對照組高,白肉雞隻7、21至28日齡直腸溫度也顯著高於對照組;3日齡TM處理後兩品種雞隻直腸溫度都顯著較對照組者低。TM使B品系台灣土雞空腸及迴腸絨毛高度顯著較對照組者低,但同時也使迴腸隱窩深度顯著較對照組低。TM也造成盲腸腸道菌相改變,白肉雞28日齡α多樣性菌種豐富度(observe feature及chao 1)指標在TM後顯著下降,35日齡則在CTHS及TMHS組下降,主座標分析(principal co-ordinates analysis)顯示HS處理之B品系台灣土雞各組菌群有較明顯的分群,TM處理則無影響,LEfSe分析結果顯示白肉雞TMHS組與短鏈脂肪酸生成相關之艾森柏格菌屬(Eisenbergiella)之豐富度顯著較白肉雞CTHS高,B品系台灣土雞TMHS組與短鏈脂肪酸生成有關之分枝桿菌屬(Merdibacter)、丹絲毒菌目(Erysipelotrichales)與罕見小球菌屬(Subdoligranulum)等益菌豐富度顯著較B品系台灣土雞CTHS組高。各組雞隻盲腸菌群參與的生物路徑預測結果顯示在脂多醣合成、葉酸合成、維生素B6代謝等生物路徑具有顯著差異。綜上所述,TM具有降低熱緊迫白肉雞體溫的作用,可能改善兩品種雞隻的脂質代謝,也可改變盲腸菌相,使益菌豐富度增加,並可能具有改善肉雞生理功能的作用。
