Effects of dietary gallic acid on growth performance, diarrhea incidence, intestinal morphology, plasma antioxidant indices, and immune response in weaned piglets

Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2020
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary gallic acid (GA) at 100, 200, or 400 mg/kg on growth performance, diarrhea incidence, intestinal morphology, plasma antioxidant indices, and immune response in weaned piglets. A total of 96 male

Experimental Induction of Diarrhoea in Newly‐Weaned Piglets

Journal of Veterinary Medicine Series A, 1991
SummaryTo induce diarrhoea and hypovolaemia, newly‐weaned conventionally bred piglets (3‐ to 4‐ weeks‐old), were either given secretagogues or were inoculated with enterotoxigenicEscherichia coli(ETEC).Choleratoxin (n = 2),E. coliheat‐labile enterotoxin (n = 2) or castor oil (n = 2) were given intragastrically or piglets were intraperitoneally injected

Effects of Clostridium butyricum and Enterococcus faecalis on growth performance, immune function, intestinal morphology, volatile fatty acids, and intestinal flora in a piglet model.

Food & Function, 2019
We investigated the effects of Clostridium butyricum and Enterococcus faecalis (probiotics) in a piglet model. Weaned piglets (180) were randomly divided into three treatment groups and fed basal diet and basal diet supplemented with 6 × 109 CFU C ...

HOUSING SOLUTION WITH STRAW BEDDING FOR WEANED PIGLETS

Swine Housing II, 2013
Weaned piglets can be housed in different kinds of systems. Recently several new solutions have been adopted by pig breeders to improve animal welfare and specially sanitary conditions. The experimental house with kennels and straw bedding in dunging-exercise area has 15 pens for weaned piglets (5-7 to 25-30 kg). Each pen consists of different areas: a

Early-Weaning and Immunity in Piglets

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1988
Neonatal and post-weaning losses represent significant economic loss to the pig industry and in terms of animal welfare the loss of one in ten piglets within the first four weeks of life seems unacceptable. Many losses occur within hours of birth due to a variety of causes, such as overlying, chilling, starvation and disease.

Effect of leaving piglets in the farrowing rooms post-weaning and mixing pre-weaning on piglet performance

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 2002
The stress caused by weaning piglets is known to have a serious detrimental effect causing a growth check, increased aggression leading to skin lesions and reducing future performance potential. Previous work (Allen et al., 2000) has shown that mixing piglets pre-weaning can improve post-weaning performance and reduce skin lesions caused by fighting ...

Liquid diets fed prior to weaning enhance performance of weaned piglets

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 2000
Creep feeding enhances weaning weight (King et al., 1998) and may also enhance early post-weaning growth rate, both of which are positively correlated to subsequent performance (Miller et al., 1999). When preweaning feeds are offered, current practice in the UK is to feed either dry feed from day 14 to weaning or acidified milk replacer from days 3 to ...

Minimising disruption of piglets at weaning

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1987
Pigs at weaning are usually regrouped to form batches of individuals similar in weight, and consequently of a similar potential for growth. This has the effect of disrupting the social organisation present amongst pigs sucking a sow. Re-establishing social order involves fighting and stress, both antagonistic to a high level of performance.

The effect of pre-weaning environment on piglets' post weaning behaviour

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 1999
A number of welfare and production problems are associated with weaning piglets including belly-nosing, ear and tail-biting, depressed immune responses, low intake of pelleted feed and impaired growth rate. These problems are, however, less pronounced in piglets reared on outdoor systems, which initially consume more pelleted food and show less belly ...

[Antibiotic-free weaning of piglets].

DTW. Deutsche tierarztliche Wochenschrift, 1990
In a problem herd the losses by E. coli-infection of weaning piglets could not be reduced neither applicating an oral vaccine before 4-2 weeks to weaning nor via feed of antibiotics or sulfonamides. Therefore many feeding trials were carried out by 1247 weaning piglets which are feeded with high raw fibre rations (wheatbran coarse grained, strawmeal ...
