Dietary β-glucan on growth performance, faecal microbial and immunity in weaned pigs
β-glucan could improve growth performance and immune function in weaned piglets.
Characterization of homologous and heterologous adaptive immune responses in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection
The present study characterized the homologous and heterologous immune response in type-I porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection.
Medicinal herbs on polymorphonuclear neutrophil immune activity and small intestinal morphology in weanling pigs
Dietary supplementation of Chinese medicinal herbs may improves intestinal health and nutrient digestibility in weanling pigs.
Protective effect of the maternally derived porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)-specific cellular immune response in piglets by dam vaccination against PCV2 challenge
Maternally derived adaptive cellular immune responses play a critical role in protecting newborn piglets challenging PCV2 at 3 weeks of age.
Mannan oligosaccharide modulates the immune responses in weanling pigs
Feeding mannan oligosaccharide may activate immunity against PRRSV.
Evaluation of chronic immune system stimulation models in growing pigs
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate models of immune system stimulation (ISS) that can be used in nutrient metabolism studies in growing pigs.
Effects of a live yeast dietary supplement on fecal coliform counts and on peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocyte subpopulations in nursery pigs
When active dry yeast was supplied as a probiotic at 0.3% in the diet of nursery pigs, total fecal coliform counts were lower and proportions of peripheral CD4+, CD4+CD8+, and CD8+ T lymphocyte subsets were higher.
Weaned pig responses to Escherichia coli K88 oral challenge when receiving a lysozyme supplement
Lysozyme supplementation may reduce the negative impact of Escherichia coli K88 in weanling piglets.
Supplementing sows with a zootechnical feed additive decreases fecal shedding of bacteria and improves calostral immunoglobulin concentrations and litter performance
The use of a zootechnical feed additive during gestation may reduce microbial pathogens in feces and improve IGA concentration in calostrum.
Influence of feeding Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii on immunoglobulins of sow’s colostrum and milk
Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii significantly increased the IgG and IgA concentration of colostrum.
Effects of dietary seaweed extract supplementation in sows and post-weaned pigs on performance, intestinal morphology, intestinal microflora and immune status
SWE supplementation post-weaning provides a dietary means to improve gut health and to enhance growth performance in starter pigs.
Antibiotics in feed improve feed intake and decrease humoral immune response in healthy pigs
The effects of some antibiotics on the intestinal microbiota does not explain a growth-promoting effect.
Plasma protein profiles of neonatal pigs before and after suckling
The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in plasma protein profiles of neonatal piglets before and after suckling, in order to characterize the gastrointestinal absorption of colostral proteins into the neonatal bloodstream.
