Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of Bacillus subtilis on growth performance, nutrient apparent digestibility and intestinal flora of weaned donkey foals. Ten 5 to 6-month-old female weaned donkey foals with an average body weight of (113.40±17.52) kg, were randomly divided into 2 groups with 5 replicates per group and 1 donkey per replicate, and they were fed diets: a basal diet (A group) and the basal diet supplemented with Bacillus subtilis (B group, the addition amount of Bacillus subtilis in the concentrate was 1011 CFU/kg, and the concentrate was fed based on the body weight of 1.5%). The results showed that Bacillus subtilis supplementation significantly increased the average body weight gain of weaned donkey foals from days 1 to 30 (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in growth performance between groups from days 31 to 60 (P>0.05). Diets supplemented with Bacillus subtilis significantly increased the ether extract apparent digestibility (P<0.05), however, there was no significant difference in the apparent digestibility of dry mater, crud protein, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber (P>0.05). The relative abundance of Bacteroidetes of group B was significantly higher than that of group A (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the two groups at the bacterial genus level (P>0.05). However, the two donkey foals with high relative abundance of Proteobacteria had higher relative abundance of Acinetobacter of group A, reaching 34.35% to 48.12%. Overall, Bacillus subtilis supplementation can improve daily body weight gain, ether extract apparent digestibility and Bacteroidetes relative abundance of donkey foals at the early weaning stage, and has a certain probiotic effect on the growth performance of donkey foals.
