The fungal community and its interaction with the concentration of short‐chain fatty acids in the faeces of Chenghua, Yorkshire and Tibetan pigs

Microbial Biotechnology, 2020
Summary Despite their important roles in host nutrition and metabolism, and potential to cause disease, our knowledge of the fungal community in the mammalian gut is quite limited.

Early Gut Microbiota Intervention Suppresses DSS-Induced Inflammatory Responses by Deactivating TLR/NLR Signalling in Pigs

Scientific Reports, 2017
Recent metagenomic studies suggest that innate and adaptive immune phenotypes can be programmed via gut microbiota-host interactions mediated via activation of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on host cells.

Molecular Dynamics Studies of Dog Prion Protein Wild-type and Its D159N Mutant [PDF]

Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics 2021 Volume 39, Issue 12, Pages 4234-4242, 2017
Prion diseases (e.g. "mad cow" disease in cattle, chronic wasting disease in deer and elk, CJD in humans) have been a major public health concern affecting humans and almost all animals. However, dogs are strongly resistant to prion diseases. Recently, it was reported that the single (surface) residue D159 is sufficient to confer protection against ...

Effects of Different Sources of Iron on Growth Performance, Immunity, and Intestinal Barrier Functions in Weaned Pigs

Agriculture, 2022
To explore the effect of different sources of iron on growth performance and intestinal health, 24 weaned pigs were randomly allocated to three groups and fed with a basal diet (BD) or BD containing 100 mg/kg ferrous sulfate (FS) or ferrous glycine (FG).

Capsulized faecal microbiota transplantation ameliorates post-weaning diarrhoea by modulating the gut microbiota in piglets

Veterinary Research, 2020
Early weaning-induced stress causes diarrhoea, thereby reducing the growth performance of piglets. Gut bacterial dysbiosis has emerged as a leading cause of post-weaning diarrhoea.

Chlorogenic Acid Attenuates Oxidative Stress-Induced Intestinal Mucosa Disruption in Weaned Pigs

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a natural polyphenol that possesses potent antioxidant activity. However, little is known about its exact role in regulating the intestinal health under oxidative stress. This study was conducted to explore the effect of dietary

Silymarin Modulates Microbiota in the Gut to Improve the Health of Sow from Late Gestation to Lactation

Animals, 2022
Inflammatory responses reduce milk production in lactating sows. Silymarin may modulate inflammatory reactions. Here, we aimed to verify whether dietary silymarin supplementation could alleviate inflammatory responses in lactating sows through microbiota
