| Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to explore the possible association of the intestinal microbiome with early-stage weight in Duroc pigs.80 days old weaned piglets with Lighter body weight (LBW,n=9) and heavier body weight (HBW,n=9) were selected from 91 individuals based on their body weights ranked.Fecal samples from piglets in the early grower phase were performed for microbial diversity,composition and predicted functionality by sequencing the V3-V4 region of 16S rRNA gene.The results showed that there was no significant differences in microbial Alpha diversity between HBW and LBW groups(P>0.05).The two dominant phyla detected in both groups were Firmicutes (65.62% and 66.57% in HBW and LBW groups) and Bacteroidetes (30.87% and 29.80% in HBW and LBW groups).Four dominant genera were Prevotella (23.82% and 20.84% in HBW and LBW groups),Lactobacillus (9.11% and 16.55% in HBW and LBW groups),norank_f_Ruminococcaceae (10.32% and 9.98% in HBW and LBW groups),and norank_f_Lachnospiraceae (6.33% and 4.53% in HBW and LBW groups).PCoA analysis showed that there were small differences in gut microbes among Duroc piglets,whereas,some weight-associated microbial compositional differences were revealed between HBW and LBW groups.At the genus level,the abundance of several genera,such as g_Kitasatospora,g_norank_o_Tremblayales,g_norank_f_Erysipelotrichaceae,g_unclassified_f_Paraprevotellaceae] and g_Coprobacillus,were significantly higher in HBW group than in LBW group (P<0.05).The abundance of Corynebacterium in LBW group was significantly higher than that in HBW group (P<0.05).Moreover,the KEGG pathways analysis showed that the sesquiterpenoid biosynthesis,insulin signaling pathway,ascorbate and aldarate metabolism,and biosynthesis of ansamycins were significantly enriched in HBW group (P<0.05),however,the secretion system pathway was significantly enriched in LBW group (P<0.05).These results might provide insights into host-microbe interactions occurring in the early stage piglets and would be useful in contributing to healthy pig breeding. |
