Antagonistic Effect of Intestinal Bacteria from the Microflora of Holoxenic (Conventional) Piglets, Against Clostridium Perfringens in the Digestive Tract of Gnotoxenic Mice and Gnotoxenic Piglets [PDF]

, 1979
Antagonistic effect of piglet microflora against Clostridium perfringens was studied in germfree mice, to isolate bacterial strains responsible for this colonization resistance.

Tooth Enamel Carbon and Oxygen Isotope Ratios Reveal Shifts in Neolithic Caprine Husbandry on the Dalmatian Coast, Croatia

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stable isotope analysis of sequential samples of ancient sheep and goat tooth enamel is used to investigate feeding, breeding, and mobility strategies at Neolithic villages on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia. δ13C values demonstrate clear enrichment of caprine diet in 13C from the Early (c. 8.1–7.5 kya cal.

Indole-3-propionic acid enhances growth performance and reduces diarrhea via modulating redox status and intestinal inflammation in weaned piglets

Animal Nutrition
Indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) has anti-inflammatory properties, which can be beneficial for weaned piglets with underdeveloped immune systems. The study explores the impact of IPA supplementation on growth performance, oxidative stress, and inflammation ...

Porcine circovirus 2 vaccination timing was not associated with piglets’ serological response

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The development of immunity in pigs starts in utero, but piglets are born immunologically immature and rely on maternal antibodies. Weaning exposes piglets to multiple stressors, yet vaccination is commonly performed around weaning.

Dietary fermented soybean meal replacement alleviates diarrhea in weaned piglets challenged with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88 by modulating inflammatory cytokine levels and cecal microbiota composition

BMC Veterinary Research, 2020
Background Impaired gut microbiota leads to pathogenic bacteria infection, pro-inflammatory response and post-weaning diarrhea. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88 is a major cause of post-weaning diarrhea in weaned piglets.

Gut Microbiota-Derived Metabolite Signature in Suckling and Weaned Piglets

, 2020
International audienceThe gut microbiota plays a key role in intestinal development at the suckling-to-weaning transition. The objective of this study was to analyze the production of metabolites by the gut microbiota in suckling and weaned piglets.

Monitoring rodents' life history by body temperature and activity

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
European hamster populations are rapidly declining all over their distribution area. One of the suggested reasons is a strong and ongoing decrease in the reproductive output of about 77% since the nineteen twenties. The cause of this decline is, however, unknown.

An Updated Review of Emerging Sources of Selenium in Weaned Piglet Nutrition

Animals
The antioxidant and immune systems of weaned piglets are not fully mature and are also subjected to serious stress challenges related to oxidative stress and inflammation. Selenium (Se) is an essential element for pigs, with documented roles encompassing

Lactobacillus frumenti mediates energy production via fatty acid β-oxidation in the liver of early-weaned piglets

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2019
Background Early-weaning of piglets is often accompanied by severe disorders, especially diarrhea. The gut microbiota and its metabolites play a critical role in the maintenance of the physiologic and metabolic homeostasis of the host.

Effects of Dietary Serine Supplementation on Intestinal Integrity, Inflammation and Oxidative Status in Early-Weaned Piglets

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: Early weaning often causes gut dysfunction. Since serine alleviates oxidative stress and inflammatory response which are accompany with early weaning, we conducted the study to explore whether serine improves intestinal function in early-
