Comparative Analysis of the Pre-Parturition and Post-Parturition Genital Tract Microbiota in Plateau Bangor Sewa Sheep
SIMPLE SUMMARY: Microbiota is closely related to animal health. Bangor Sewa sheep are an important biological resource that live on the Tibetan Plateau. In this paper, we compared the microbial composition and structure in the birth canal of Bangor Sewa sheep before and after delivery. A total of th...

description | SIMPLE SUMMARY: Microbiota is closely related to animal health. Bangor Sewa sheep are an important biological resource that live on the Tibetan Plateau. In this paper, we compared the microbial composition and structure in the birth canal of Bangor Sewa sheep before and after delivery. A total of three phyla and 74 genera, including a variety of positive and negative health-associated factors, showed significant differences between pre- and post-parturition groups. This research offers a new approach to improving the well-being and productivity of the Bangor Sewa sheep. ABSTRACT: (1) Background: Bangor Sewa sheep are an economically significant livestock species on the plateau. The roles of microbiota in reproduction are complex and critical for animal health. But little is known currently about the microbiome of plateau Bangor Sewa sheep. The purpose of this study was to discover the changes in the genital tract microbiota of pre- and post-partum Bangor Sewa sheep. (2) Methods: Samples from the birth canal were obtained for 16S rRNA sequencing, three days before and after delivery, respectively. (3) Results: The results showed that there was a noticeable difference in three phyla and 74 genera between the pre- and post-parturition groups in the microbiota of Bangor Sewa sheep. The changes included a decrease in the abundance of genera related to health (unclassified_Cellulomonadaceae, Cellulomonas, Fibrobacti, Flavobacterium, Eubacterium_ventriosum_group, Acetitomaculum, Aeromicrobium, Dietzia, Romboutsia, Ruminococcus, etc.) and an increased abundance of negatively related genera (Nocardioides, unclassified_Clostridia, Sphingobacteriaceae, unclassified_Ruminococcaceae, Prevotellaceae_UCG_004, Micromonospora, Streptococcus, Facklamia, Bosea, etc.) spp. (4) Conclusions: Microbes can serve as indicators of the physical state of Bangor Sewa sheep. These findings laid the foundation for deciphering the effects of microbial changes during birth on the reproductive health of plateau Bangor Sewa sheep. |
