Administration of Pediococcus acidilactici or Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii modulates development of porcine mucosal immunity and reduces intestinal bacterial translocation after Escherichia coli challenge[Nutrimail]Porcine mucosal immune response against E coli may be modulated by dietary probiotic supplementation. |
Supplemental zinc reduced intestinal permeability by enhancing occluding and zonula occludens protein-1 (ZO-1) expression in weaning piglets[Nutrimail]The use of pharmacological Zn doses in weanling diets for piglets may reduce intestinal permeability against potential pathogens. |
Enhanced lumbar spine bone mineral content in piglets fed arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid is modulated by severity of growth restriction[Nutrimail]Growth restricted piglets may benefit from additional long-chain PUFA supplementation. |
Digestion rate of dietary starch affects systemic circulation of amino acids in weaned pigs[Nutrimail]High level of rapidly digestible starch allows higher systemic circulating concentrations of most AA in pigs. |
Effects of phenyllactic acid on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, microbial shedding, and blood profile in pigs[Nutrimail]Phenyllactic acid may play as a natural alternative to antibiotics in pig diets. |
Early deposition of n-3 fatty acids from tuna oil in lean and adipose tissue of fattening pigs is mainly permanent[Nutrimail]Fish oil may be a useful ingredient to enrich pork with n-3 fatty acids, independently of the supplementation period. |
Intestinal physiology and peptidase activity in male pigs are modulated by consumption of corn culture extracts containing fumonisins[Nutrimail]The presence of secondary metabolites in the diet like fumonisin may compromise intestinal physiology and enzyme activity in weanling piglets. |
