Abstract
The skeleton is a vital organ providing structural support in poultry. Weakness in bone structure can lead to deformities, osteoporosis, cage fatigue, and fractures, resulting in economic losses. Research has substantiated that genetic factors play a significant role in influencing bone quality. The discovery of genetic markers associated with bone quality holds paramount importance for enhancing genetic traits related to the skeletal system in poultry. This study analyzed nine phenotypic indicators of tibia quality in 120-day-old ducks. The phenotypic correlation revealed a high correlation among diameter, Perimeter, and weight (0.69-0.78), and a strong correlation was observed between toughness and breaking strength (0.62). Then, we conducted a genome-wide association analysis of the phenotypic indicators to elucidate the genetic basis of tibial quality in Nonghua ducks. Among the 11 candidate genes that were annotated, TAPT1, BST1, and STIM2 were related to the diameter indicator, ZNF652, IGF2BP1, CASK, and GREB1L were associated with the weight and toughness indicators. RFX8, GLP1R, and DNAAF5 were identified for ash, calcium, and phosphorus content, respectively. Finally, KEGG and GO analysis for annotated genes were performed. STIM2 and BST1 were enriched into the Calcium signalling pathway and Niacin and nicotinamide metabolic pathway, which may be key candidate genes affecting bone quality phenotypes. Gene expression analysis of the candidate genes, such as STIM2, BST1, TAPT1, and CASK showed higher expression levels in bones compared to other tissues. The obtained results can contribute to new insights into tibial quality and provide new genetic biomarkers that can be employed in duck breeding.

Fermented calcium butyrate supplementation in post-peak laying hens improved ovarian function and tibia quality through the "gut-bone" axis. ANIMAL NUTRITION (ZHONGGUO XU MU SHOU YI XUE HUI) 2024; 16:350-362. [PMID: 38362518 PMCID: PMC10867563 DOI: 10.1016/j.aninu.2023.10.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 10/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
The compromised egg quality and leg abnormality during the end of the laying cycle (after 40 weeks) have been leading to poor animal welfare and substantial economic losses. Therefore, the effects of fermented calcium (Ca) butyrate, produced by fermentation by Clostridium butyricum, on production, eggshell quality, and tibial property of hens were explored. A total of 192 Hy-line brown laying hens at 50-week-old were assigned to a basal diet or the basal diet with 300 mg/kg of the fermented Ca butyrate from 50 to 58 weeks of age. Each treatment had 6 replicates with 16 hens each. The diet supplemented with 300 mg/kg fermented Ca butyrate notably increased egg weight, ovarian follicle number, and eggshell strength (P = 0.072) as compared to the basal diet, which were associated with cytokine secretion, toll-like receptor signaling pathways, and intestinal immunity based on the RNA-seq data from the granulosa. Dietary Ca butyrate inclusion decreased the expression of ileal tumor necrosis factor-alpha and serum pro-inflammatory cytokine concentration, as well as increased the content of serum immunoglobulin A when compared to the basal diet (both P < 0.05). The birds that received fermented Ca butyrate diets exhibited higher villus height (P < 0.05) and upregulated expression of tight junction proteins, whereas it did not alter the composition of cecal microbiota (P > 0.05). In addition, the diet with fermented Ca butyrate reduced the number of osteoclasts in the proximal tibia and the level of C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen, a bone resorption marker (P < 0.05), whereas it tended to increase the concentration of the procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide that reflects bone formation marker in serum. Moreover, the layers fed fermented Ca butyrate diets possessed higher (P < 0.05) bone area and trabecular number of the proximal tibia, yield load, and ultimate load than those that consumed basal diets. Collectively, dietary fermented Ca butyrate supplementation in post-peak layer diets improved the ovarian function and tibia quality, which might be related to enhancing intestinal integrity and consequently decreasing inflammation mediated bone resorption.

Biol Trace Elem Res 2023; 201:888-903.

Abstract
Leg problems characterized by gait abnormity and bone structure destruction are associated with a high risk of fractures and continuous pain in poultry. Zinc (Zn) acts a pivotal part in normal bone homeostasis and has proven to be highly effective in alleviating leg problems. Therefore, the effects of graded concentration of Zn on bone quality were evaluated in this study. A total of 512 1-d-old male ducks were fed 4 basal diets added 30 mg/kg Zn, 60 mg/kg Zn, 90 mg/kg Zn, and 120 mg/kg Zn as Zn glycine for 35 d. Tibia Zn content, ash percentage, and breaking strength linearly increased with dietary elevated Zn level (P < 0.05). Broken-line analysis revealed that the recommended level of Zn from Zn glycine was 55.13 mg/kg and 64.48 mg/kg based on tibia ash and strength, respectively. To further confirm the role of dietary Zn glycine addition on bone characteristics, data from birds fed either 60 mg/kg Zn as Zn sulfate (ZnSO4), 30 mg/kg Zn, or 60 mg/kg Zn in the form of Zn glycine indicated that birds given 60 mg/kg Zn from Zn glycine diet exhibited higher tibia ash, strength, and trabecular volume compared to those fed the 30 mg/kg Zn diet (P < 0.05). Dietary 60 mg/kg Zn as Zn glycine addition decreased intestinal permeability, upregulated the mRNA expression of tight junction protein, and increased the abundance of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which was companied by declined the level of inflammatory cytokines in both the ileum and bone marrow. Regarding bone turnover, the diet with 60 mg/kg Zn from Zn glycine induced osteoprotegerin expression and thus decreased osteoclast number and serum bone resorption biomarker levels including serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity and C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen level when compared to 30 mg/kg Zn diet (P < 0.05). Except for the upregulation in runt-related transcription factor 2 transcription, the experimental treatments did not apparently change the bone formation biomarker contents in serum. Additionally, Zn glycine displayed a more efficient absorption rate, evidenced by higher serum Zn level, and thus had potentially greater a protective role in the intestine barrier and tibia mass as compared to ZnSO4. Collectively, the dietary supplementation of 60 mg/kg in the form of Zn glycine could suppress bone resorption mediated by osteoclast and consequently improve tibial quality of meat ducks, in which enhanced intestinal integrity and optimized gut microbiota might be involved.

Dietary Energy and Protein Levels During the Prelay Period on Production Performance, Egg Quality, Expression of Genes in Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Ovary Axis, and Bone Parameters in Aged Laying Hens. Front Physiol 2022; 13:887381. [PMID: 35574467 PMCID: PMC9096247 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.887381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 04/12/2022] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Nutrition during the pre-lay period takes effect on the production performance in the laying flock. This study evaluated the effects of dietary energy and protein levels in pre-lay diet on performance during the whole laying period and the egg quality, bone quality, and mRNA expression of hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis-related genes of hens at the end of the laying cycle. A total of 1,856 15-wk old Hy-Line brown pullets were randomly assigned to one of the four dietary treatments: using a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement with 2 energy levels (2,700 and 2,800 kcal/kg ME, respectively) and 2 protein levels (15 and 16.5% CP, respectively). Pullets were fed ad libitum from 15 to 20 wk and from 20 wk onward, fed with a similar laying diet till 72 wk of age. At 72 wk, the expression of genes in the hypothalamus, pituitary, ovarian, and follicles and bone quality was evaluated. At 72wk, there were no differences in production performance, BW, organ index, and ovarian parameters among the dietary treatments. High-CP diet increased the egg shape index and eggshell thickness (p < 0.05), but the eggshell breaking strength, Haugh unit, and albumen height did not differ among the treatments. Neither dietary energy nor protein level took an effect of bone quality. Low-energy diet increased the mRNA expression of gonadotropin-releasing hormone-1 (GnRH-1) in the hypothalamus (p < 0.05). The mRNA expression level of estrogen receptor-1 (ESR-1) in the hypothalamus and ovary was elevated by the 2,700 ME-15%CP diet (p < 0.05). The expression of cytochrome family 17 subfamily A polypeptide 1 (CYP17A1) in the large white follicle (LWF), small yellow follicles (SYF) and dominant follicle (DF) was decreased by the 2,800 kcal/kg diet (p < 0.05). These results indicate that the prelay diet had no influence on the production performance but had minimal effect on the eggshell characteristics and bone parameters. These results suggest that the energy and protein level of the prelay diet changes the expression of HPG axis-related genes of hens around the end of the laying cycle without changing the circulating sex hormone profile. The effect of prelay diet on the endocrinal adjustment at the end of the laying cycle needs to be investigated further.

Abstract
Gut microbiota interfered with using prebiotics may improve bone mass and alleviate the onset of bone problems. This study aimed to investigate the beneficial effect of resistant starch from raw potato starch (RPS) on bone health in meat ducks. Response to the dietary graded level of RPS supplementation, both tibia strength and ash were taken out linear and quadratic increase and positively correlated with increased propionate and butyrate levels in cecal content. Moreover, further outcomes of gut microbiota and micro-CT analysis showed the beneficial effect of RPS on bone mass might be associated with higher Firmicutes proportion and the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the cecum. Consistent with improving bone mass, SCFAs promoted phosphorus absorption, decreased the digestive tract pH, and enhanced intestinal integrity, which decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory genes in both gut and bone marrow, and consequently depressed osteoclastic bone resorption mediated by inflammatory cytokines. These findings highlight the importance of the "gut-bone" axis and provide new insight into the effect of prebiotics on bone health.

Abstract
Mineral nutrition plays a critical role in growth and bone mineralization in meat ducks as well as reproductive performance in duck layers and duck breeders. In addition to improving production performance parameters, minerals are also essential to support several enzymatic systems to enhancing antioxidant ability and immune function. This review explores the biological function and metabolism of minerals in the body, as well as mineral feeding strategy of various species of ducks. Topics range from mineral requirement to the physiological role of macroelements such as calcium and phosphorus and microelements such as zinc and selenium, etc. As with the improvement of genetic evolution and upgrade of rearing system in duck production, mineral requirements and electrolyte balance are urgent to be re-evaluated using sensitive biomarkers for the modern duck breed characterized by the rapid growth rate and inadequate bone development and mineralization. For duck breeders, mineral nutrition is not only required for maximal egg production performance but also for maintaining normal embryonic development and offspring's performance. Therefore, the proper amounts of bioavailable minerals need to be supplemented to maintain the mineral nutritional state of duck species during all phases of life. In addition, more positive effects of high doses microelements supplementations have been revealed for modern meat ducks subjected to various stresses in commercial production. The nutritional factors of mineral sources, supplemental enzymes, and antinutritional factors from unconventional ingredients should be emphasized to improve the effectiveness of mineral nutrition in duck feed formulation. Organic mineral sources and phytase enzymes have been adopted to reduce the antagonistic action between mineral and antinutritional factors. Therefore, special and accurate database of mineral requirements should be established for special genotypes of ducks under different rearing conditions, including rearing factors, environmental stresses and diets supplemented with organic sources, phytase and VD3.
