Effects of pre-slaughter fasting on broiler welfare, meat quality, and intestinal integrity

Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2013
The Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture (MAPA) regulations establish 12 hours as the maximum pre-slaughter fasting period for broilers; however, many processing plants have considered this time is not sufficient, and consequently return the birds to the ...

Increasing weaning age of piglets from 4 to 7 weeks reduces stress, increases post-weaning feed intake but does not improve intestinal functionality [PDF]

, 2010
This study tested the hypothesis that late weaning and the availability of creep feed during the suckling period compared with early weaning, improves feed intake, decreases stress and improves the integrity of the intestinal tract.

Developmental changes of TGF-β1 and Smads signaling pathway in intestinal adaption of weaned pigs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Weaning stress caused marked changes in intestinal structure and function. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and canonical Smads signaling pathway are suspected to play an important regulatory role in post-weaning adaptation of the small intestine ...

Variation of Small Intestinal Morphology with age [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1972
A study of small intestinal three-dimensional morphology from 85 childhood necropsies, using the dissecting microscope, has shown that there is a variation in morphology with age. While finger-like villi occurred frequently in the small intestine of neonates, particularly in the ileum, broader villi occurred more frequently in children aged between 5 ...

Effect of Feeding Frequency on the Growth, Body Composition, and Intestinal Health of Hybrid Grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀ × E. lanceolatu♂) Fed a High-Fat Diet

Animals
This experiment was to investigate the effects of feeding frequency on the growth performance, body composition, and intestinal health of hybrid grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀ × E. lanceolatu ♂). Fifty-six days of feeding with four different feeding

Dietary spray-dried plasma improves intestinal morphology of mated female mice under stress condition

Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2018
Background Stress causes inflammation that impairs intestinal barrier function. Dietary spray-dried plasma (SDP) has recognized anti-inflammatory effects and improvement of gut barrier function. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the

Effects of Virgin Microplastics on Growth, Intestinal Morphology and Microbiota on Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides)

Applied Sciences, 2021
Microplastics (MPs), classified as plastic debris less than 5 mm in size, are widely found in various aquatic environments. However, there have been few studies regarding their potential threat under aquaculture conditions.

Toll-Like Receptor 4 Modulates Small Intestine Neuromuscular Function through Nitrergic and Purinergic Pathways [PDF]

, 2017
Objective: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a pivotal role in the homeostatic microflora-host crosstalk. TLR4-mediated modulation of both motility and enteric neuronal survival has been reported mainly for colon with limited information on the role of ...

A YY1-dependent increase in aerobic metabolism is indispensable for intestinal organogenesis [PDF]

, 2016
During late gestation, villi extend into the intestinal lumen to dramatically increase the surface area of the intestinal epithelium, preparing the gut for the neonatal diet.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
