Weaning markedly affects transcriptome profiles and Peyer’s patch formation in piglet ileum

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
Transcriptome analyses were conducted on the ileal mucosa of 14-35 day-old piglets to investigate postnatal gut development during suckling and post-weaning. The transcriptome profiles of 14 day-old suckling piglets showed a considerably higher number of

Impact of litter size, supplementary milk replacer and housing on the body composition of piglets from hyper-prolific sows at weaning

Animal, 2021
The modern hyper-prolific sow gives birth to 17 live-born piglets on average. An alternative strategy to nurse sows and artificial rearing may be providing milk replacer while letting all the piglets stay with their dam.

Oral Administration of Citrus Extracts in Suckling Piglets [PDF]

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2019
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of suckling piglets subjected to oral administration of citrus extracts (CE). Twenty sows were used with ten sucking piglets on average initial weight of 1.26 kg (± 0.32) for 21 days.

Early social contact alters the community structure and functions of the faecal microbiome in suckling-growing piglets

Animal, 2021
Social contact during suckling, in an enriched social environment, can reduce the aggressive behaviours of piglets during regrouping at weaning, and improve their production performance and welfare.

Benefits and risks of iron supplementation in anemic neonatal pigs. [PDF]

, 2010
Iron deficiency is a common health problem. The most severe consequence of this disorder is iron deficiency anemia (IDA), which is considered the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide. Newborn piglets are an ideal model to explore the multifaceted

Feed intake behaviour of piglets in single and group suckling pens

Landbauforschung, 2021
Early contact to plant-based feed (creep feed) should stimu- late the adaption of the gastrointestinal system and promote gut development, with the desired effect of less physiological stress at weaning, lower incidence of diarrhoea and high- er growth ...

Body weight of newborn and suckling piglets affects their intestinal gene expression. [PDF]

J Anim Sci, 2022
Modern hyperprolific sows must deal with large litters (16–20 piglets) which reduce piglet birthweight with a concomitant increase in the proportion of small and intrauterine growth retarded piglets.

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

, 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.

Integrating Machine Learning to Identify Key Microbiota of Gut Community Changes Across Different Stages in Dahe Black Pigs

Microorganisms
Growth stage is a key factor influencing the composition and richness of the porcine gut microbiota. The stage-specific alterations in gut microbiota of indigenous Chinese pig breeds and cultivated breeds remain to be elucidated. This study conducted 16S
