Regulatory Mechanisms of Bioactive Peptides on Intestinal Health and Their Application in Livestock and Poultry Production
Bioactive peptides are a class of amino acid sequence polypeptide fragments with special biological functions,mainly through antibacterial,anti-inflammatory,immune and antioxidant functions to improve body health.Intestinal tract is the main organ for animals to digest and absorb nutrients,and a good intestinal envi-ronment is very important for maintaining body health.Bioactive peptides can maintain intestinal homeostasis and improve intestinal health by improving intestinal morphology and mucosal function,enhancing intestinal immune and antioxidant function,and regulating intestinal flora and its metabolites,etc.In this paper,the functional properties of common bioactive peptides and their regulatory mechanisms on intestinal health of live-stock and poultry were reviewed,with a view to providing references for their application in livestock produc-tion and the development of novel bioactive peptides.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(4):2128-2142]
