Dietary Catalase Supplementation Alleviates Deoxynivalenol-Induced Oxidative Stress and Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis in Broiler Chickens

Catalase (CAT) can eliminate oxygen radicals, but it is unclear whether exogenous CAT can protect chickens against deoxynivalenol (DON)-induced oxidative stress. This study aimed to investigate the effects of supplemental CAT on antioxidant property and gut microbiota in DON-exposed broilers. A tota...

description Catalase (CAT) can eliminate oxygen radicals, but it is unclear whether exogenous CAT can protect chickens against deoxynivalenol (DON)-induced oxidative stress. This study aimed to investigate the effects of supplemental CAT on antioxidant property and gut microbiota in DON-exposed broilers. A total of 144 one-day-old Lingnan yellow-feathered male broilers were randomly divided into three groups (six replicates/group): control, DON group, and DON + CAT (DONC) group. The control and DON group received a diet without and with DON contamination, respectively, while the DONC group received a DON-contaminated diet with 200 U/kg CAT added. Parameter analysis was performed on d 21. The results showed that DON-induced liver enlargement (<i>p</i> < 0.05) was blocked by CAT addition, which also normalized the increases (<i>p</i> < 0.05) in hepatic oxidative metabolites contents and caspase-9 expression. Additionally, CAT addition increased (<i>p</i> < 0.05) the jejunal CAT and GSH-Px activities coupled with T-AOC in DON-exposed broilers, as well as the normalized DON-induced reductions (<i>p</i> < 0.05) of jejunal villus height (VH) and its ratio for crypt depth. There was a difference (<i>p</i> < 0.05) in gut microbiota among groups. The DON group was enriched (<i>p</i> < 0.05) with some harmful bacteria (e.g., <i>Proteobacteria</i>, <i>Gammaproteobacteria</i>, <i>Enterobacteriales</i>, <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i>, and <i>Escherichia</i>/<i>Shigella</i>) that elicited negative correlations (<i>p</i> < 0.05) with jejunal CAT activity, and VH. DONC group was differentially enriched (<i>p</i> < 0.05) with certain beneficial bacteria (e.g., <i>Acidobacteriota</i>, <i>Anaerofustis</i>, and <i>Anaerotruncus</i>) that could benefit intestinal antioxidation and morphology. In conclusion, supplemental CAT alleviates DON-induced oxidative stress and intestinal damage in broilers, which can be associated with its ability to improve gut microbiota, aside from its direct oxygen radical-scavenging activity.
