[0057] (1) Enrichment: 10 g of sample is enriched in 100 mL of MRS broth medium, and cultured at 37°C for 24-48 h.

[0058] (2) Isolation: Take 1 mL of enriched bacteria solution and place it in 10 mL of MRS broth medium (pH 2.5), incubate at 37°C for 12 h, then take 1 mL and place it in 10 mL of 0.3% bile salt MRS broth medium, incubate at 37°C for 12 h, dilute and spread on CaCO3 MRS plates, select colonies with large calcium-dissolving rings and fast growth, and purify the colonies on MRS solid medium, and store the purified strains at -80°C in glycerol.

[0059] Biological identification of target strains: inoculate the isolated strains in MRS broth medium, incubate at 37°C for 18-32 h, perform morphological identification and 16S rDNA molecular biological identification, and send the strains to Huada Gene Technology Co., Ltd. for identification. Perform BLAST analysis of the sequencing results in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database, and construct a phylogenetic tree using MEGA5.0 software, as shown in Figure 1

[0060] A total of 105 colonies with calcium-dissolving rings were screened from the intestinal tracts of healthy piglets and fresh feces, and morphological identification showed that 26 of them were gram-positive bacilli. The 26 strains were subjected to 16S rDNA sequence amplification and sequencing, and the sequences were compared using BLAST of GenBank.

After 4 hours of culture at 37°C and 80 rpm, the artificial gastric juice was centrifuged to obtain the digested bacterial cells, which were then resuspended in an equal volume of artificial animal intestinal juice and cultured under the same conditions as the gastric juice for 5 hours. The viable cell count was determined, and the survival rate was calculated. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0133] Take 2 mL of bacterial suspension, add 2 mL of 0.2 mmol / L DPPH anhydrous ethanol solution, which is Ai, mix well, and react for 30 min at room temperature in the dark. After centrifugation at 3000 x g for 10 min, measure the absorbance Ai of the supernatant at 517 nm, and calculate the DPPH radical scavenging rate. Each group is measured in triplicate, and the average value is taken. Aj is 2 mL of bacterial suspension + 2 mL of anhydrous ethanol, and Ac is 2 mL of anhydrous ethanol + 2 mL of DPPH. The calculation formula of DPPH radical scavenging rate is as follows:

[0134] DPPH radical scavenging rate (%) = (1 - (Ai - Aj) / Ac) x 100%

[0135] (2) Hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity

[0136] Take 1 mL of 2.5 mmol / L phenanthroline, add 1 mL of PBS buffer, 1 mL of distilled water in turn, mix well, and then add 1 mL of 2.5 mmol / L FeSO4 and 1 mL of 20 mmol / L H2O2, and react for 60 min at 37°C. Take the supernatant, and then measure the absorbance A(A 对 ) of the control group at 536 nm.

Use 1 mL of bacterial suspension instead of 1 mL of distilled water as the sample group, and measure the absorbance A(A 样 ) of the sample group. Calculate the hydroxyl radical scavenging rate, and each group is measured in triplicate, and the average value is taken. The calculation formula of hydroxyl radical scavenging rate is as follows:

[0137] Hydroxyl radical scavenging rate (%) = (A(A 样 -A(A 对 )) / (A(A 空 -A(A 对 )) x 100%

[0139] Mix 0.5 mL bacterial suspension with 1.5 mL Tris-HCl solution (pH 8.0), after reaction at 25℃ for 20 min, add 200 μL, 25 mmol / L o-phenanthroline, react for 5 min, then add 250 μL HCl to terminate the reaction, centrifuge at 3000 x g for 10 min, take the supernatant to measure the absorbance A (A 样 ) of the sample group at 325 nm. Use 0.5 mL distilled water instead of 0.5 mL bacterial suspension as a control group, measure the absorbance A (A 对 ) of the control group. Calculate the superoxide anion radical scavenging rate, measure 3 times for each group in parallel, and take the average value. The calculation formula of the superoxide anion radical scavenging rate is as follows:

[0140] Superoxide anion radical scavenging rate (%) = (1-A 样 / A 对 ) x 100%
