A total of 36 calves were blocked by body weight and assigned to either non-medicated milk replacer (CTL), or neomycin for 14\u2009days (ST) or 28\u2009days (LT) in their milk replacer. At the end of the study, calves were euthanized to collect tissue and digesta samples from the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and adipose tissue for analysis of intestinal microbial diversity, bile acid concentration and profile in various body tissues, and gene expression related to bile acid, lipid, carbohydrate metabolism, and inflammation. Calves that received prophylactic administration of neomycin for 28 d (LT) had reduced species richness (chao1 index), and tended to have reduced phylogenetic diversity in the ileum tissue. The relative abundance of <jats:italic>Lactobacillus<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Bifidobacterium<\/jats:italic> in ileum and colon digesta were decreased in LT compared with CTL. Concentrations of primary, secondary, and total BA were increased by ST in ileal tissue. In plasma, ST and LT treatments had lower concentrations of secondary BA. Gene expression of the BA receptor <jats:italic>FXR<\/jats:italic> was increased in ileum and liver by LT compared to CTL. The expression of <jats:italic>FXR<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>TGR5<\/jats:italic> in the liver was increased in the ST group compared with CTL, and in adipose tissue, 5 genes related to triglyceride, gluconeogenesis, and immune activation were differentially expressed between CTL and ST. In conclusion, we provide evidence that prophylactic administration of neomycin leads to aberrant changes in BA concentration and profile in different compartments of the enterohepatic system through a process that possibly entails antimicrobial disruption of key bacterial groups, which persists even after cessation of neomycin administration. Additionally, we uncovered an apparent link between dysregulated BA metabolism and changes in lipid metabolism and immune activation in adipose tissue and liver.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2023.1210142","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,31]],"date-time":"2023-08-31T11:37:11Z","timestamp":1693481831000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Prophylactic feeding of neomycin to Holstein calves alters gut microbiota, bile acid metabolism, and expression of genes involved in immunometabolic regulation"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Lautaro R.","family":"Cangiano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ignacio R.","family":"Ipharraguerre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Le Luo","family":"Guan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lauralise N.","family":"Buss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rocio","family":"Amorin-Hegedus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Chirivi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.
