Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the effects of compound microecological preparation combined with fructosan (FOS) on growth performance, diarrhea rate and intestinal microbiota of lactating calves. A total of 21 healthy Holstein calves at 3 days of age were randomly divided into three groups:5 g of Lactobacillus plantarum (1×109 CFU) and Bacillus subtilis (2×1010 CFU) were added to each head daily in ZK group; 5 g of Lactobacillus plantarum (1×109 CFU) and Bacillus subtilis (2×1010 CFU) and FOS were added to each head daily in ZKT group (the two preparations were dissolved in warm water 1 h after regular feeding and fed with milk bottle); group C was control group and was fed conventionally. The pre-test lasted for 7 days, and the normal test lasted for 50 days. The results showed as follows:1) the average daily gain and average daily feed intake of ZK group and ZKT group were not significantly different from those of the C group (P>0.05). However, the diarrhea rate of the two groups was significantly lower than that of the C group (P<0.05). 2) The analysis of microbial community Alpha diversity showed that the addition of microecological preparation had no significant effect on the intestinal microbial flora richness and diversity of calves of ZK group (P>0.05), but had significant effect on the intestinal microbial abundance of ZKT group (P<0.05). The analysis of intestinal microbiota revealed that at the level of phylum, the dominant bacteria mainly included Bacteroides, Firmicutes and Tenericutes. There is no significant difference in relative abundance of the top ten phylum between the groups (P>0.05). At the genus level, the dominant genus were Bacteroides, unidentified_Prevotellaceae and Allobaculum, and the relative abundance of Bacteroides of ZKT group was significantly higher than that of C group and ZK group (P<0.05). 3) The t-test differential species analysis showed that the average abundance of Clostridia of ZKT group was significantly lower than that of C group (P<0.05). In summary, it is found that the two preparations have little effect on the growth performance of the calves, but the compound microecological preparation in ZKT group can significantly change the calf intestinal microflora, increase the relative abundance of Bacteroides significantly, and especially significantly reduce the relative abundance of Clostridia, which reduce the calf diarrhea rate.
