ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) resulted in high mortality and many physiological defects of piglets, causing huge economic loss in the swine industry. Lactobacillus amylovorus (L. amylovorus) was identified as one of the main differential bacteria between IUGR and normal piglets. However, the effects of L. amylovorus on the growth performance and intestinal health in IUGR piglets remained unclear.

OBJECTIVES:

This study aimed to investigate the promoting effects of L. amylovorus Mafic1501, a new strain isolated from normal piglets, on the growth performance and intestinal barrier functions in IUGR piglets.

METHODS:

Newborn mice or piglets were assigned into 3 groups CON (normal birth weight, control), IUGR (low birth weight), and IUGR+L. amy (low birth weight), administered with sterile saline or L. amylovorus Mafic1501, respectively. Growth performance, lactose content in the digesta, intestinal lactose transporter, and barrier function parameters were profiled. IPEC-J2 cells were cultured to verify the effects of L. amylovorus Mafic1501 on lactose utilization and intestinal barrier functions.

RESULTS:

L. amylovorus Mafic1501 elevated body weight and average daily gain of IUGR mice and piglets (P < 0.05). The lactose content in the ileum was decreased, whereas gene expression of glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) was increased by L. amylovorus Mafic1501 in IUGR piglets during suckling period (P < 0.05). Besides, L. amylovorus Mafic1501 promoted intestinal barrier functions by increasing the villus height and relative gene expressions of tight junctions (P < 0.05). L. amylovorus Mafic1501 and its culture supernatant decreased the lactose level in the medium and upregulated gene expressions of transporter GLUT2 and tight junction protein Claudin-1 of IPEC-J2 cells (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

L. amylovorus Mafic1501 improved the growth performance of IUGR piglets by promoting the lactose utilization in small intestine and enhancing intestinal barrier functions. Our results provided the new evidence of L. amylovorus Mafic1501 for its application in the swine industry.
