Abstract

B vitamin are important metabolites of intestinal microorganisms, and play important roles in the development, immune function and nutritional metabolism of the intestine. It is widely used as a feed additive in livestock and poultry. Due to the complex components and low B vitamin content in the intestinal tract, it is difficult to accurately monitor the dynamic changes of B vitamin in the intestinal tract with the existing methods. In this study, a highly efficient and rapid method for the detection of B vitamin in intestinal contents and feces of pig using the targeted metabolomics technique of ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-multi-reaction monitoring (UPLC-MS/MS-MRM) was established. Eight kinds of B vitamin could be detected in 7 min by this method as well as exhibiting a good linear relationship (r≥0.995) with low detection limit (0.01 to 0.10 ng/mL). The recovery rate was tested at three levels with eight repeats at each level. The results showed that the average recovery rate ranged from 88.0% to 110.0%, with relative standard deviation of <18% in quality control samples. Eight kinds of B vitamin in intestinal contents and feces of pigs were successfully detected by this method. The average contents of vitamin B1, vitamin B2, nicotinic acid, nicotinamide, pyridoxal, pyridoxine, vitamin B9 and vitamin B12 in fecal samples were 806, 11 616, 19 620, 448, 576, 206, 90 and 18 ng/g, respectively. Their average concentrations in cecal contents were 246, 6 202, 15 058, 468, 238, 14, 80 and 13 ng/g, respectively. The results showed that the content of B vitamin in feces was higher than that in cecal contents, and the content of nicotinic acid was much higher than that of other B vitamin. In conclusion, 8 kinds of B vitamin in intestinal contents and feces of pigs are detected efficiently and quantitatively by the targeted metabolomics with ULPC-MS/MS-MRM technology in this study, providing technical basis for the following studies on functions of B vitamin in intestines of livestock and poultry.
