The inclusion of microalgae in livestock diets has been shown to enhance animal productivity, immune response, and meat quality. However, the role chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris) growing rabbit nutrition scarcely explored, with available studies focusing on low levels (<1%) their effects growth response. This study evaluated performance, nutrient digestibility, plasma metabolites, caecal fermentative activity, microbiota composition rabbits fed different crude fat. A total 648 mixed-sex Grimaud crossbred (33 d age; 841 ± 140 g live weight) were six experimental (96 per diet for trial) based a bifactorial design three dietary (0, 1, 2%) two fat (3 5%) obtained by soybean oil (1 3%, respectively). trial lasted 38 days until slaughter. From 47 51 age, 72 (12 diet) submitted digestibility trial. At samples content collected from 36 (six analyse fermentations, microbiota.

Role of Simulated Nannochloropsis gaditana Digests in Shaping Gut Microbiota and Short-Chain Fatty Acid Levels

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 17(1), P. 99 - 99

Published: Dec. 30, 2024

The connection between gut microbiota and factors like diet is crucial for maintaining intestinal balance, which in turn impacts the host’s overall health. Nannochloropsis gaditana microalgae a sustainable source of bioactive compounds, mainly known its used aquaculture extraction lipids, with potential health benefits whose effects on human are still unknown. Therefore, goal this work was to assess impact N. composition derived metabolites by combining INFOGEST protocol vitro colonic fermentation process evaluate conformation through 16S rRNA gene sequencing metabolic functionality. results have demonstrated ability digests from significantly modify composition, promoting an increase beneficial bacterial genera such as Akkermansia, Butyricicoccus, Eisenbergiella, Lachnoclostridium, Marvinbryantia, contrast inulin, after 48 h fermentation. Additionally, increased levels both major minor short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), particularly butyric valeric acids, considered biomarkers, ammonium production. This research has demonstrated, first time, agent influencing functionality microbiota.
