Abstract

The study was conducted to explore the effects of plant extract mixture (PEM) (Eucommia ulmoides, rosemary, loquat and persimmon leaves) on free amino acids contents and relative expression levels of amino acid transporters in the rumen and intestine of Xiangdong black goats. In total, twenty healthy female-goats with similar weight of (9.82±0.83) kg were selected and equally randomly assigned into 2 groups, control group and experimental group (basic diets with 0.15% PEM). The experiment lasted for 56 days. The results showed that compared with control group, 1) adding PEM to the diet could significantly increase the rumen free aspartic acid (Asp), glutamic acid (Glu), glycine (Gly), alanine (Ala) and proline (Pro) contents of Xiangdong black goats (P<0.01), the content of free threonine (Thr) was significantly increased (P<0.05); the relative expression level of rumen mucosal calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) gene was significantly up-regulated by 68.6% (P<0.01); 2) adding PEM to the diet could significantly increase the contents of free Gly, Ala and arginine (Arg) in the ileum of Xiangdong black goats (P<0.01) and significantly increase the content of free valine (Val) (P<0.05); the relative expression level of ileal mucosal solute carrier family 1 member 1 (SLC1A1) gene was significantly up-regulated by 162.6% (P<0.01), the relative expression levels of solute carrier family 1 member 3 (<SLC1A3) and solute carrier family 38 member 2 (SLC38A2) genes were significantly increased by 27.1% and 34.3% (P<0.05), respectively; 3) adding PEM to the diet could significantly reduce the cecal free Thr, Glu, Gly, tyrosine (Tyr) and phenylalanine (Phe) contents (P<0.01), and at the same time, could significantly reduce serine (Ser) and Ala (P<0.05); the relative expression level of SLC1A1 gene in cecal mucosa was significantly down-regulated by 77.2% (P<0.01), and the relative expression level of solute carrier family 7 member 1 (SLC7A1) gene was significantly up-regulated by 29.2% (P<0.01); the relative expression level of solute carrier family 3 member 2 (SLC3A2) and SLC38A2 genes were significantly up-regulated by 21.5% and 34.3% (P<0.05). In summary, the PEM can significantly increase the contents of free amino acids in the rumen and intestines of Xiangdong black goats, while regulating the relative expression of amino acid transporters in the rumen and intestinal mucosa.
