Study on disease resistance of Eucommia leaf Extract added to feed

Study on disease resistance of leaf extract of Eucommia Ulmoides

The results showed that nutrient ELE did not affect developmental efficiency and body structure (p > 0.05). Compared with the control group, plasma ALB content in 0.06% e-e group was increased (p < Plasma ALT and AST tasks decreased by 0.08% in ELE group (p < 0.05). In terms of antioxidants, compared with the control group, 0.06% diet ELE up-regulated the mRNA expression of Nrf2 path-related antioxidant genes CAT and SOD (p < 0.06% and 0.08% of diet plans up-regulated Hsp70 mRNA levels (p < 0.05). In terms of drug resistance, 0.06% ELE diet inhibited intestinal TLR2, MyD88 and NF-κB mRNA expression (p < 0.05). Finally, the Streptococcus agalactis challenge test showed that nutritional enhancement of 0.06% ELE could prevent microbial infection and significantly improve GIFT survival (p < 0.05). This study shows that nutritional enhancement of 0.04-0.06% ELE enhances intestinal antioxidant capacity, improves immune response, and ultimately enhances GIFT's resistance to Streptococcus agalactis.
