This study investigated the effects of different levels of methionine (Met) in a low protein diet on the production performance, reproductive system, metabolism, and gut microbial composition of laying hens to reveal the underlying molecular mechanism of Met in a low protein diet on the host metabolism and gut microbial composition and function of hens. A total of 360 healthy 38-week-old Peking Pink laying hens with similar body conditions and egg production (EP) were randomly divided into four groups with nine replicates per treatment and 10 hens per replicate. The hens in each treatment group were fed low protein diets containing different levels of Met (0.25, 0.31, 0.38, and 0.47%, respectively) for 12 weeks. Feed and water were provided ad libitum throughout the trial period. The results showed that, compared with the 0.25% Met group, the final body weight (FBW), average daily gain (ADG), EP, egg weight (EW), and average daily feed intake (ADFI) in the other groups were significantly increased and feed egg ratio (FER) was decreased. Meanwhile, the EW and yield of abdominal fat (AFY) in the 0.47% Met group were higher than those in other groups. The triglyceride (TG), estradiol (E2), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), and immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the 0.38 and 0.47% Met groups were higher than those in other groups. In addition, 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that there was no difference in the Sobs index, ACE index, and Shannon index among all groups. However, it is worth noting that feeding low protein diets with Met changed the gut microbial composition (e.g., the supplementation of Met increased the level of Lactobacillus and decreased the proportion of Faecalibacterium). Also, our results showed that the changes in gut microbial composition induced by the diets with different levels of Met were closely related to the changes of key parameters: ADFI, EW, FBW, TG, EM, EP, ADG, FER, and uric acid (UA). Our results highlight the role of adding an appropriate amount of Met to the low protein diet in laying hens, which could improve the gut microbial composition, production performance, reproductive system, and nutrient metabolism of laying hens. In conclusion, this study suggested that when the Met level was 0.38%, the production performance of the laying hens was pretty good.

Previous work (Blanchard et al, 1995) has suggested that the feeding of a high energy/low protein diet to finishing pigs produces pork of a superior eating quality compared to animals fed conventional energy and protein diets. It has been demonstrated in recent studies (Blanchard et al, 1995) that pork eating quality, particularly tenderness, can be influenced by a change of diet imposed at two weeks prior to slaughter. It has also been suggested (Warkup and Kempster, 1991) that both growth rate and fatness are positively correlated to pork eating quality and that proteolytic enzymes are involved in determining eating quality (Blanchard 1994). The objective of this study was therefore to test these various hypothesis.Two diets were evaluated: CEP diet (DE 14.0 MJ/kg, Protein 200 g/kg, Lysine 10.0 g/kg) and HELP diet (DE 15.0 MJ/kg, Protein 160 g/kg, Lysine 7.0 g/kg). Treatment 1 animals (n=26) received CEP fed ad libitum 45 kg to 90 kg Iwt. Treatment 2 animals (n=23) received HELP fed ad libitum 45 kg to 90 kg lwt. Treatment 3 animals (n=23) received CEP diet until 14 days prior to slaughter following which they received HELP diet fed ad libitum. A range of carcass and meat quality characteristics were recorded. Grilled loin steaks from each animal were evaluated for eating quality characteristics by trained sensory panel and rated on a scale of 1-8 (increasing with intensity). Activity levels of calpain and calpastatin were measured in samples of LD muscle remove from each carcass 45 minutes after slaughter.
