RNA-seq analysis of small intestine transcriptional changes induced by starvation stress in piglets
Animal BiotechnologyPiglets may experience a variety of stress injuries, but the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying these injuries are not well understood. In this study, we analysed the ileum of Large White (LW) and Mashen (MS) piglets at different times of ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Exosomes can reduce tissue damage in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA), but rapid clearance limits their efficacy. This study encapsulates exosomes in hyaluronic acid hydrogels for controlled release. In a rat model, hydrogel‐encapsulated exosomes outperform free exosomes in preserving bone integrity and reducing tissue destruction ...

Vocal response of piglets to weaning: effect of piglet age
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 1997 Piglets vocalize a great deal during the first few days after weaning. The aim of this experiment was to determine if the calls given by piglets vary in response to one factor thought to influence post-weaning adaptation: weaning age. In 22 litters, each containing a minimum of 9 piglets, 3 piglets were weaned under identical conditions at 3, 4 and 5 ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study develops a 3D vascular injury model using a microphysiological system that mimics key features of intimal hyperplasia. Antiproliferative drugs reduced VSMC proliferation but worsened endothelialdenudation. A combination of diphenyleneiodonium and quercetin effectively reduced proliferation and migration of VSMC and inflammation while ...

Extensive horizontal gene transfer during Staphylococcus aureus co-colonization in vivo. [PDF]
, 2014 Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal and major pathogen of humans and animals. Comparative genomics of S. aureus populations suggests that colonization of different host species is associated with carriage of mobile genetic elements (MGE), particularly ...

Rearing of newborn piglets in nests classified by their weight [PDF]
Caspian Journal of Environmental SciencesUsually, the first to be born are larger piglets. They occupy the front nipples of the sow, which produce more milk. Small piglets are born later, and they have posterior low-milk nipples.

Animals, 2020 Simple Summary Many countries have already restricted the use of antibiotics in preventing diarrhea and improving the growth of weaning piglets. Therefore, exploring alternatives to antibiotics is an urgent unmet need.
