Early Weaning Affects Liver Antioxidant Function in Piglets [PDF]
Animals, 2021 This study examined the impact of early weaning on antioxidant function in piglets. A total of 40 Duroc × Landrace × Large White, 21-day-old piglets (half male and half female) were divided into suckling groups (SG) and weaning groups (WG). Piglets in WG were weaned at the 21st day, while the piglets in SG continued to get breastfed. Eight piglets from

Intestinal gene expression in pigs: effects of reduced feed intake during weaning and potential impact of dietary components [PDF]
, 2011 The weaning transition is characterised by morphological, histological and microbial changes, often leading to weaning-associated disorders. These intestinal changes can partly be ascribed to the lack of luminal nutrition arising from the reduced feed ...

Impact of Intestinal Microbiota on Growth Performance of Suckling and Weaned Piglets
Microbiology spectrum, 2023 The relationship between pigs' intestinal microbiota and growth performance is of great importance for improving piglets’ health and reducing antimicrobial use. We found that gut microbiota variation is significantly associated with growth during weaning

Effects of Farrowing Stall Layout and Number of Heat Lamps on Sow and Piglet Production Performance
Animals, 2020 Most farrowing facilities in the United States use stalls and heat lamps to improve sow and piglet productivity. This study investigated these factors by comparing production outcomes for three different farrowing stall layouts (traditional, expanded ...
