Description

Method for enhancing antioxidant and immune functions of lambs
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nutritional feed additives for dairy animals, and particularly relates to a product and a method for enhancing the antioxidant and immune functions of lambs by adding nicotinamide and/or nicotinic acid to dairy goats in a perinatal period and application of the product and the method.
Background
Perinatal is one of the most critical physiological periods of dairy animals, which goes through the transition from pregnancy to parturition and then to lactation, and has large changes in physiology, nutrition, metabolism and immunity, and frequent metabolic and infectious diseases. In addition, the dairy animals can have appetite suppression in the later gestation period, and the dry matter feed intake after delivery can not meet the nutritional requirement. Energy intake of dairy animals is reduced due to the reduction of dry matter intake, and energy demand is increased due to embryo growth and lactation, resulting in negative balance of nutrients including negative energy balance, negative protein balance and negative vitamin balance during perinatal period. The milking animals can ensure the milk yield in the lactation period by regulating the metabolism of the organism. At present, a plurality of achievements exist in the regulation and control research aiming at the negative balance of nutrients in dairy animals, particularly in the perinatal period, and the functions of part of nutritional feed additives (such as rumen bypass choline and rumen bypass methionine) are proved, so that the negative balance of energy and protein can be effectively relieved, and the health and the lactation performance of animals are improved.
The overnutrition, the insufficient nutrition or the unbalance of the maternal in the gestation period and the lactation period can change the organ functions of the offspring and reduce the production performance of the offspring. The maternal effect refers to the phenomenon that the physiological status and production performance of the offspring livestock and poultry are directly affected by the female parent. With the development and deep research of animal nutrition, genetic breeding and reproduction, and bioinformatics, the research finds that the maternal effect is not only related to genetic information, but also closely related to environment and nutrition level. Since fetal genetic programming determines the structure, function and metabolism of the body, nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy are a source of post-adult metabolic disease development. Maternal nutrition plays a crucial role in fetal growth and is also the basis for normal growth, development and reproduction of the animal after adulthood. Researchers have conducted extensive experimentation to determine the nutritional needs of animals, but the optimal nutritional supply during pregnancy remains a significant problem for many species in the world (e.g., swine, cattle and sheep, etc.).
Nicotinic acid and niacinamide both belong to the B vitamins, collectively referred to as vitamin PP. Nicotinic acid, also known as nicotinic acid, formula C6H5NO2(ii) a Nicotinamide, also known as nicotinamide, of formula C6H6N2And O. It is believed that nicotinic acid is converted into nicotinamide in liver or other tissues, and the nicotinamide and nicotinic acid have common vitamin activity, can participate in the regulation and control process of body energy metabolism, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Research shows that the nicotinamide can relieve negative energy balance of dairy animals and improve animal health, but no research report exists so far on whether growth and development, oxidation resistance, immune function and the like of offspring can be influenced.

3 conclusion
(1) The nicotinamide added to the ewes in the late perinatal period and the whole period has no influence on the birth weight of the lambs and the growth and development of the ewes at the age of 28 days, and also has no influence on the gestational period of the ewes.
(2) Nicotinamide is added to ewes in the full perinatal period to reduce the activity of T-AOC and CAT enzymes in plasma of 14-day-old lambs, and nicotinamide is added in the late perinatal period to reduce the T-AOC in plasma of 28-day-old lambs. Results in liver tissues show that the enzyme activity of CAT in the tissues is reduced by adding nicotinamide in the perinatal period, the mRNA expression levels of SOD2 and GPX1 in the tissues are reduced by adding nicotinamide in the perinatal period and the perinatal period, and the mRNA expression level of CAT is reduced by adding nicotinamide in the perinatal period, which indicates that the oxidative stress state of lambs is reduced by adding nicotinamide in the perinatal period and the perinatal period of ewes. The perinatal period of the dairy animals is in a special stage, the metabolism intensity is high, the oxygen consumption is high, and a large amount of active oxygen free radicals are easy to generate. These reactive oxygen radicals are transmitted to the fetus before birth of the lamb via the placenta and to the breast milk after birth. The antioxidant system of the body is mainly used for eliminating active free radicals, and the activity of antioxidant enzyme is related to the concentration of active oxygen free radicals. Nicotinamide improves the antioxidant capacity of the mother body and milk, and reduces the transmission of active free radicals to offspring through placenta and milk, thereby reducing the oxidative stress of lambs.
Thus, it is known that the addition of niacinamide to the full-term perinatal ewes reduces the transfer of reactive oxygen radicals to the fetus via the placenta. The nicotinamide is added to the ewes in the late perinatal period and the whole period, so that the oxidation resistance of milk is improved, the active oxygen free radicals are reduced to be transmitted to offspring through the milk, and the oxidative stress of lambs is reduced.
(3) The addition of nicotinamide to the ewes in the late perinatal period and the full period reduces the gene expression of lamb spleen DNMT1, but has no influence on the expression of DNMT3b, and shows that the lamb spleen DNA methylation level tends to be reduced. Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase catalyzes nicotinamide methylation by taking S-adenosylmethionine as a methyl donor, and is an important methyltransferase in animal bodies. The addition of nicotinamide may competitively deplete the body of methyl groups, while protein poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) and sirtuin deacetylases, which rely on Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD), play an important role between cellular metabolism and gene expression influenced by various pathways (modification of DNA and histones). Low levels of NAD promote BDNF activity dependent promoter DNA methylation.
Therefore, the addition of nicotinamide to the ewes in the late perinatal period and the full period improves the immune function of the lambs, and the improvement of the immune function may be related to the change of the methylation level of DNA.
The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications or changes can be made by those skilled in the art without inventive efforts based on the technical solutions of the present invention.
