Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the fields of microbiology and feed probiotics, and in particular to chicken-derived crop mucus Lactobacillus CC32 and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] The intestine is the primary site for digestion and absorption of feed nutrients and defense against pathogens. Maintaining intestinal health is fundamental to overall host health and ensuring optimal feed utilization efficiency for animals. However, in modern poultry production, broilers often face various environmental stress challenges, such as rapid growth stress, heat stress, and high-density stocking stress. These stresses often cause broilers to be in a sub-healthy state, seriously threatening their intestinal health functions, causing inflammatory responses and triggering oxidative stress, thereby reducing feed utilization efficiency and even leading to death. The intestinal microbiome can affect host physiological functions, including digestion, absorption, and metabolism of feed nutrients, directly or through its metabolites, thereby affecting the efficient utilization of nutrients and promoting broiler growth.

[0003] At present, some studies have discovered some intestinal microorganisms that are closely related to the feed utilization efficiency of broilers. However, the research results to date are inconsistent and sometimes even contradictory. The low repeatability of microbial experiments may be due to the sensitivity of the intestinal flora to differences in diet, environment, management, age and breed. In addition, due to the complexity of the intestinal microbiome related to feed utilization efficiency, most studies only stay at the correlation level, without clearly identifying specific bacterial groups and analyzing the role and mechanism of their interaction with the host in affecting feed utilization efficiency. Therefore, how to discover key intestinal bacteria that can significantly improve feed utilization efficiency, and isolate and culture key chicken-derived probiotic strains in vitro, and further reveal their causal relationship with feed utilization efficiency through functional studies, is of great production significance for the development of products and nutritional regulation technologies that target key intestinal probiotics to improve broiler intestinal health and improve feed utilization efficiency.

[0025] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can understand.

[0026] Example 1 Isolation and identification of chicken-derived crop mucus Lactobacillus CC32 1. Isolation, culture and morphological identification of strains Collect 1 g of cecal digesta from Cobb broiler chickens and place it in a test tube containing 9 mL of normal saline. Vortex and mix thoroughly to create a 1:10 dilution. This dilution is then diluted in 10-fold increments. Then, 1 mL of each of three appropriate dilutions is plated onto MRS medium. Incubate anaerobically at 37°C for 48 hours. Observe and record the colony morphology, and select well-growing single colonies for streak isolation and purification.

[0027] For strains in logarithmic growth phase with stable colony size, the single colony status is described, mainly including the size, color and colony edge status. The obtained single colony size is about 2-3mm, the color is light white, and the colony edge is irregular. See the colony morphology diagram for details. Figure 1 .

[0028] The MRS medium was prepared as follows: 10 g peptone, 5 g beef powder, 4 g yeast powder, 2 g glucose, 1 mL Tween 80, 2 g dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 5 g sodium acetate, 2 g triammonium citrate, 0.2 g magnesium sulfate, and 0.05 g manganese sulfate. The medium was made up to 1 L with distilled water, the pH was adjusted to 7.2 ± 0.1, and sterilized at 121°C for 15 min.

[0029] 2. Gram staining of strains Place a drop of sterile distilled water on a glass slide, pick a single colony and dissolve it in water. After scraping, dry and fix it over an alcohol lamp. Add crystal violet stain for 2 minutes, rinse with water, and air dry. Add iodine solution for mordant staining for 2 minutes, rinse with water, and air dry. Add basic fuchsin ethanol solution for 50 seconds, rinse with water, and air dry. Observe under a standard optical microscope. The staining results show that the bacteria are Gram-positive rod-shaped rods (see Figure 2 ).

[0030] 3. Identification of strains Genomic DNA was extracted from the isolated strain using a bacterial genome pre-production kit (BL1044A, Biosharp). Universal primers were used to amplify the 16S rDNA sequence of the strain. The resulting 16S rDNA amplification product was subjected to 1% gel electrophoresis. Passing amplification sequences were sent to Wuhan Jinkairui Bioengineering Co., Ltd. for sequencing. A 1460-bp 16S rDNA sequence was obtained, as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1:

[0031] The above sequences were compared with the NCBI database to confirm that the isolated strain was Lactobacillus mucosa ( Lactobacillus ingluviei ), named CC32.

[0032] This strain was deposited in the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC, address: Wuhan University, Wuhan, China, postal code 430072) on December 18, 2024, and was classified and named Limosilactobacillusingluviei CC32, with the deposit number CCTCC No: M 20242859.

[0033] Example 2: Stress resistance evaluation of chicken-derived crop mucus Lactobacillus CC32 1. Growth curve of chicken crop mucus Lactobacillus CC32 The strain CC32 was taken out of the -80°C freezer, a line was drawn on a plate, and the plate was placed in an anaerobic operating box at 37°C for 24 hours; a single colony was picked from the plate and inoculated into 10 mL of MRS medium, and anaerobically incubated at 37°C for 24 hours; three identical anaerobic tubes containing 10 mL of MRS medium (the formula is shown in Example 1) were prepared to constitute technical replicates, and the cultured bacterial solution was transferred to three 10 mL culture tubes at a 1% inoculum volume; all the culture solutions were placed in an anaerobic operating box at 37°C, and the OD was monitored every 2 hours using a microplate reader. 600 The absorbance value was monitored every 4 h after reaching the plateau phase, and the growth curve of strain CC32 was drawn.

[0034] The results showed that strain CC32 entered the logarithmic growth phase at 6 h and the plateau phase at 16 h (see Figure 3 ).

[0035] 2. Acid resistance test of chicken crop mucus Lactobacillus CC32 The activated strain CC32 was inoculated at 1% inoculation into MRS liquid culture medium with pH values ​​of 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 6.0, respectively. The culture was anaerobically cultured at 37°C for 12 h, with three replicates. The OD of each bacterial solution was measured using a microplate reader. 600 The absorbance value.

[0036] The results showed that chicken crop mucus Lactobacillus CC32 grew best in a medium with a pH of 6.0, and pH 4.0 had little effect on its growth. When the pH was 2, half of the bacteria were still able to survive and grow 12 hours after inoculation ( Figure 4 ), indicating that chicken-derived crop mucus Lactobacillus CC32 can tolerate the effects of gastric acid.

[0037] 3. Bile salt tolerance test of chicken crop mucus Lactobacillus CC32 The activated strain CC32 was inoculated at a 1% inoculum into MRS liquid culture medium with sodium taurocholate concentrations of 0 g / L, 1 g / L, 3 g / L, and 5 g / L, respectively. The culture was anaerobically cultured at 37°C for 12 h with three replicates. The OD600 absorbance of each group of bacterial liquid was measured using a microplate reader.

[0038] The results showed that the effects of 1 g / L and 3 g / L bile salt on chicken crop mucus Lactobacillus CC32 were relatively weak and almost negligible. After 12 hours of treatment with 5 g / L bile salt, the OD value of bacterial culture was still close to 1.0 (see Figure 5 ), indicating that the chicken crop mucus Lactobacillus CC32 has a strong bile salt tolerance.

[0039] Example 3 Preparation of an additive for improving intestinal health of broiler chickens The additive for improving the intestinal health of broiler chickens contains chicken-derived crop mucus Lactobacillus CC32, wherein the concentration of chicken-derived crop mucus Lactobacillus is 10 9 CFU / mL.

[0040] The preparation method of the additive for improving the intestinal health of broiler chickens comprises the following steps: a. Remove strain CC32 from the -80°C freezer, draw lines on the plate, and incubate the plate in an anaerobic chamber at 37°C for 24 hours. b. Pick a single colony from the plate and inoculate it into 10 mL of MRS medium and culture it anaerobically at 37°C for 24 h; obtain the fermentation broth, which is the additive. In the additive, the concentration of strain CC32 is 10 9 ~10 10 CFU / mL Among them, the preparation method of MRS culture medium is as follows: 10g peptone, 5g beef powder, 4g yeast powder, 2g glucose, 1mL Tween 80, 2g dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 5g sodium acetate, 2g triammonium citrate, 0.2g magnesium sulfate, 0.05g manganese sulfate, make up to 1L with distilled water, adjust the pH value to 6.0, and sterilize at 121℃ for 15min.

[0041] Example 4 Broiler feed to improve intestinal health of broiler chickens The broiler feed for improving the intestinal health of broilers was prepared by adding the additive prepared in Example 3 to the basic diet (Shandong New Hope Liuhe Group Co., Ltd.), wherein the effective viable count of chicken-derived crop mucus Lactobacillus CC32 in the feed was 10 9 CFU / kg.

[0042] Example 5 Application of Chicken Crop Lactobacillus CC32 in Improving Broiler Intestinal Health and Feed Utilization Efficiency The broiler model used in this example is as follows: 600 one-day-old male white-feathered broiler chickens (weighing 42±2g) were randomly divided into two groups, with 15 replicates in each group and 20 chickens in each replicate, as follows: Control group (BD): fed with basal diet, Treatment group (LI): fed with broiler feed; The broilers were fed with a basal diet starting from day 1 and continued for 21 days. Both groups were then fed with a basal diet until the broilers were marketed. During the experiment, the broilers had free access to feed and water.

[0043] The detection indicators are as follows: 1. Record the feed intake of broilers every day and calculate the average daily feed intake after the end of the experiment; record the body weight of broilers on the day of the start and end of the experiment and calculate the average daily weight gain; calculate the feed conversion rate based on feed intake and body weight gain, which is calculated as average daily feed intake / average daily weight gain.

[0044] 2. The duodenal tissue was carefully washed with pre-cooled saline, and small segments were cut and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. Paraffin sections were then made and the tissue morphology was analyzed by HE staining.

[0045] 3. Duodenal paraffin sections were stained with Alcian blue staining kit (Solarbio, G1560) for duodenal goblet cell staining analysis.

[0046] Table 1 Effects of adding chicken-derived crop mucus Lactobacillus CC32 to the diet on the production performance of broilers from week 1 to week 6 As can be seen from Table 1, the average daily weight gain of broilers in the treatment group (LI) was significantly ( P <0.05) was higher than that of the control group (BD), and the feed conversion rate was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P <0.05), indicating that the feed efficiency of broiler chickens supplemented with Lactobacillus CC32 from chicken crop mucus was better, and the production performance and feed utilization efficiency of broiler chickens were significantly improved.

[0047] The histomorphology of the duodenum was shown by HE staining (see Figure 6 ), the villi height of broilers in the treated group (LI) increased significantly compared with those in the control group (BD) ( P <0.05), indicating that broiler feed (diet supplemented with chicken-derived crop Lactobacillus CC32) increased the surface area of ​​broiler intestinal tract for absorption of dietary nutrients.

[0048] Alcian blue staining of the duodenum (see Figure 7), the broilers in the treatment group (LI) had more goblet cells that secreted mucus than the broilers in the control group (BD), indicating that the broiler feed (supplemented with chicken-derived crop mucus Lactobacillus CC32) improved the intestinal secretion, barrier and immune functions of broilers.

[0049] Although the above embodiments have been described in detail, they are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. People can also obtain other embodiments based on this embodiment without inventiveness, and these embodiments all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
