Abstract

Dairy cows in late lactation experience compromised immune status. A promising strategy to im-prove immune health is to manipulate gut microbiota. This study evaluated the effect of fecal microbi-ota transplant (FMT) on the immunity profile of Friesian Holstein cows during late lactation. Donor cow from the Ciawi, Bogor highlands were selected. Fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) were pre-pared using donor Friesian Holstein cow feces, mixed with glycerol (1:1), diluted in saline, encapsulat-ed in double-layered capsules, and stored at -20°C. The study used a Latin square design with three Friesian Holstein cows in late lactation, testing one control and two FMT levels (5 g and 10 g per day per cow) in a 3% body weight ration (60% elephant grass, 40% concentrate) over three cycles. Using a shotgun metagenomic approach, we identified key microbial populations that correlated with the maintenance of gut homeostasis and immune function. These microbial communities, including Bac-teroides, Bifidobacterium, and Prevotella, produce gut-derived metabolites (acetate, butyrate, and pro-pionate) that influence lymphocytes of T1 (4.02 x 10^3/uL) and T2 (3.87 x 103/uL) and monocytes of T1 (0.38 x 10^3/uL) and T2 (0.31 x 103/uL), thus modulate adaptive immune responses, aid in the re-pair of the intestinal barrier, and strengthened immune system. CAZy enzyme analysis revealed diverse carbohydrate-active enzymes, highlighting the microbial contributions to fiber degradation and SCFA production. Our findings provide valuable insights into the role of the microbiota in regulating the di-gestive and immune systems of dairy cows in lowland climates.

Abstract

The study’s objective was to estimate the association among various linear body measurements and body weights of adult Kacang goats. The data was obtained from 209 heads of adult Kacang Goat, compressed 78 bucks and 131 ewes. The morphological evaluation was performed by measuring body weight (BW), body length (BL), chest depth (CD), chest girth (CG), chest width (CW), and withers height (WH). Factor PROCEDURE was performed to estimate the principal component. The result of factor analysis was used to determine the independent variable for linear regression analysis. BW has a favorable correlation with CG, BL, CD, CW, and WH for bucks and ewes. PC 1 accounts for 55.62% of the variation in bucks, while PC 2 accounts for an additional 18.34%. PC 1 accounts for just 0.45% of the overall variation in ewes, whereas PC 2 accounts for 0.24%. The R-squared (R2) values for bucks and ewes in the regression equation with CG as the independent variable are 0.32 and 0.41, respectively. For both bucks and ewes, the regression equation with CW as the independent variable had a higher R2 of 0.52 and 0.20, respectively. For bucks and ewes, the regression equation'sR2 values are 0.54 and 0.44, respectively, with combined CG and CW acting as independent variables. This integrated approach to analyzing body measurements in Kacang Goats provides a robust foundation for making informed decisions in goat farming.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of energy and organic zinc supplements, specifically zinc palm oil soap (ZPOS), on digestibility and unsaturated fatty acid profiles in vitro. The study used a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments were: T0= basal diet without supplementation, T1= basal diet + 5% palm oil (PO), T2= basal diet + 5% partial ZPOS (3.75% ZPOS + 1.25% PO), and T3= basal diet + 5% ZPOS. The inoculum source was rumen liquid from three fistulated female dairy goats and was homogenized. The goats were fed ration consisting of corn straw, soybean hulls, and concentrate containing total digestible nutrients (TDN) 63%, crude protein (CP) 14%, and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) 35%. Results showed that both 5% partial ZPOS and 5% ZPOS supplementation (T2 and T3) resulted in the increase of total volatile fatty acids (VFA), acetate, propionate, butyrate, unsaturated fatty acids (USFA) and a decrease in the ratio of acetate/propionate (A/P) compared to the control and supplementation of 5% PO (p<0.05). Supplementation of 5% partial ZPOS (T2) is better than 5% ZPOS because increased the digestibility of ether extract (EE), crude fiber (CF), NDF, and acids detergent fiber (ADF) (p<0.05) and decreased of methane compared to the control (p<0.05). In conclusion, adding 5% partial ZPOS (3.5% ZPOS and 1.5% PO) increases fiber digestibility, VFA, LCFA, and USFA concentration, and decreases methane production in the rumen liquid.
