Tight Junction Proteins in the Weaned Piglet Intestine: Roles and Regulation.

Current protein and peptide science, 2019
The intestinal epithelial barrier plays a crucial role in the health and growth of weaned piglets. Proper epithelial function mainly depends on tight junctions (TJs), which act as both ion channels and a barrier against noxious molecules.

Segregated Early Weaning and Welfare of Piglets

Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, 1999
Segregated early weaning (SEW), introduced with the objectives of eradicating or controlling diseases and improving performance, is becoming increasingly popular among producers. The main features of SEW are weaning piglets early and moving the newly weaned piglets to a site isolated from the sows and other animals. In this article, we describe the key

Effects of the sow-piglet relationship on the weaning and post-weaning behaviour of piglets

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 1997
The constraints upon the sow-piglet relationship differ markedly between husbandry systems. Within the farrowing crate the sow and the piglets are physically unable to remove themselves from one another. In most outdoor farrowing systems the sow must remove herself from her litter in order to feed and drink and, where piglets are successfully ...

Transport of early weaned piglets

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2008
Abstract Millions of segregated early weaned (SEW) piglets are transported each year. Problems affecting even a small percentage of these piglets may have a significant welfare impact. The Recommended Codes of Practice for the Care and Handling of Farm Animals [CARC, 2001.

Relieving stress in piglets after weaning

Животноводство России, 2023
Объединение гнезд поросят в подсосный период путем устройства лазов между смежными станками на 36–38-й день их жизни (за 6–8 суток до отъема) помогает животным адаптироваться к новым условиям, что в дальнейшем обеспечивает повышение их живой массы и сохранности.

Development of piglet gut microbiota at the time of weaning influences development of postweaning diarrhea - A field study.

Research in Veterinary Science, 2020
Postweaning diarrhea is a common issue in pig production which is currently controlled by feed supplementation with zinc oxide. However, new alternatives are being sought due to an expected ban on zinc oxide in feed supplementation from 2022 in the EU ...

Optimising the health of weaned piglets

2022
The weaning period is a very stressful event for the piglet that can impact the health, welfare and performance. This period of transition is characterized by the adaptation of newly weaned piglets to their new environment, diet, changing in their immunological status and pathogens circulation that can impact their following performance.

Insoluble nonstarch polysaccharides in diets for weaned piglets

Journal of Animal Science, 2012
To examine the effect of inclusion insoluble nonstarch polysaccharides (iNSP) in weaned diets on postweaning piglet performance, intestinal activity, and microbial composition 2 experiments were designed. In Exp. 1, 180 piglets were weaned at 28 d of age and divided over 3 treatments: positive control (PC; highly digestible protein), negative control ...

Environmental effects on weaned piglet behaviour

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 1990
This study investigated the effects of a barrier or partition on early weaned (21-23 days) piglet behaviour. The barriers were framed metal or wooden boards of a simple design, that were positioned in the pen so that the piglets could move around them, dividing the pen into two areas.
