Vet. Sci."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Transportation of livestock is unavoidable in animal production. A total of 72 piglets were randomly divided into the CON group and the TSG group, and the piglets in CON group were transported for two hours. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of short-distance road transportation lasting 2 h on the jejunum of weaned piglets. Our results showed that compared with the control group, there was no impact on the growth performance of piglets in the transport group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;gt; 0.05). The concentrations of cortisol, heat shock protein (HSP)70, HSP90, C-reactive protein, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-12, and interferon-\u03b3 and the activity of reactive oxygen species were increased in the jejunum of piglets in the transport group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05 compared with the control group). The concentrations of glutathione peroxidase, claudin-1, occludin, and zonula occludens-1 showed no between-group differences (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;gt; 0.05). Regarding intestinal morphology, the transport group showed infiltration of a small amount of lymphocytes into the jejunum mucosa epithelium that was accompanied by edema of the lamina propria, whereas the control group showed no obvious abnormalities. At the genus level, in the transport group, the 16S rRNA sequencing revealed a downward trend in the relative abundance of <jats:italic>Lactobacillus<\/jats:italic> and an upward trend in the relative abundance of <jats:italic>Muribaculaceae<\/jats:italic>_<jats:italic>unclassified<\/jats:italic>. There was also increased mRNA expression of genes associated with inflammation in the transport group, but the genes and pathways related to apoptosis were not activated. In summary, weaned piglets undergoing 2 h of short-distance road transportation showed stress and inflammatory reactions of the jejunum but did not exhibit oxidative damage or activation of the apoptosis pathway of the jejunum. Furthermore, the growth performance of the piglets was not affected by the trip.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2023.1148941","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,12]],"date-time":"2023-04-12T05:32:47Z","timestamp":1681277567000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Effects
