Rather than Enterococcus faecium supplementation, age is the main factor for digestive maturation.

Lactobacillus plantarum ZJ31 supplementation improves growth parameters, pork quality and promotes intestinal villus height in growing pigs.

Dietary inclusion of a combination of two probiotic strains could improve the fatty acid profile of pig meat.

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.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii significantly increased the IgG and IgA concentration of colostrum.

The dietary inclusion of Houttuynia cordata and Taraxacum officinale leads to an improvement of the growth performance, inmune defense and meat quality in finishing pigs.

Both plants, Eugenia and Pterocarya can represent effective alternatives to feed antimicrobials for the use in prevention of PWD in pigs, but further studies are necessary.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG does not ameliorate the negative effects caused by E. coli F4-in challenged piglets.

Temporal administration of probiotics to pregnant sows has clear effects on the establishment of gut microbiota to piglets after weaning.

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of antibiotics and selected probiotics on the morphological properties of the small intestinal mucosa in growing-finishing pigs.

This study evaluated the effect of the probiotics Pediococcus acidilactici and Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii on the intestinal colonization of O149 enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli harbouring the F4 (K88) fimbriae (ETEC F4) and on the expression of ileal cytokines in weaned pigs.

Sows and piglets diets supplemented with probiotics are effective in maintaining animal performance and control of diarrhea during the nursery phase.

The results of the present study suggest that synbiotics exert similar effects with antibiotics on the nutrient digestibility and fecal microflora composition in growing pigs. Moreover, synbiotics can also decrease the fecal noxious gas emission in growing pigs.

Metabolite combinations produced by L. plantarum strains are potential alternatives to antibiotics that could be used as growth promoter in postweaning piglets.

Different probiotic complexes of lactic acid bacteria improved growth performance and feed conversion in the first two weeks post-weaning, but the gut environment was improved in all period.

Porcine mucosal immune response against E coli may be modulated by dietary probiotic supplementation.
