Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate the impact of supplementing Saccharomyces cerevisiae Fermentation Product (SCFP) in the diet on the gene expression levels of cytokines IL-12, IFN-γ, and IL-13 in broiler chickens raised under open farm conditions. A total of 192 one-day-old broiler chickens (Ri x Luong Phuong) were randomly assigned to one of the two experimental groups, namely the control group (ĐC) and the SCFP-supplemented group (Diamond V XPCTM (1,25kg/ton of feed). Spleen samples were collected at 85 days old (1 chicken/1 cage, 16 chickens/experimental group). The results showed that the diet supplemented with SCFP significantly upregulated the gene expression levels of IL-12 and IL-13, and downregulated the expression level of IFN-γ (p<0,01) in the spleen. These findings suggest that SCFP supplementation in the diet may support the effects of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines by simultaneously increasing the expression levels of both IL-12 and IL-13 and contribute to maintaining the balance of Th1 and Th2 cytokines in broiler chickens.

Keywords: Cytokine, expression levels, Fermentation product, Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Tóm tắt

Nghiên cứu được tiến hành với mục đích đánh giá ảnh hưởng của việc bổ sung chế phẩm lên men Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SCFP) vào khẩu phần ăn đến mức độ biểu hiện của một số gene cytokine IL-12, IFN-γ và IL-13 ở gà thịt được nuôi trong điều kiện chuồng hở. Tổng cộng 192 con gà 1 ngày tuổi (Ri x Lương Phượng) được phân ngẫu nhiên vào 2 nhóm thí nghiệm, gồm nhóm đối chứng (ĐC) và nhóm bổ sung SCFP (Diamond V XPCTM, liều 1,25kg/tấn thức ăn). Mẫu lách gà được thu thập ở 85 ngày tuổi (1 gà/1 ô chuồng, 16 gà/1 nghiệm thức). Kết quả cho thấy khẩu phần ăn của gà được bổ sung SCFP điều chỉnh tăng đáng kể mức độ biểu hiện gene của IL-12 và IL-13 và giảm mức độ biểu hiện gene của IFN-γ (p<0,01). Điều này cho thấy vai trò của SCFP được bổ sung trong khẩu phần ăn của gà có thể hỗ trợ tác dụng của các cytokine gây viêm và chống viêm bằng cách gia tăng mức độ biểu hiện đồng thời của cả IL-12 và IL-13, từ đó góp phần duy trì sự cân bằng của các cytokine Th1 và Th2 ở gà thịt.

Từ khóa: Chế phẩm lên men, cytokine, mức độ biểu hiện, Saccharomyces cerevisiae
