Reducing Weaning Stress in Piglets by Pre-Weaning Socialization and Gradual Separation from the Sow: A Review [PDF]
Animals, 2023 The weaning of pigs in most commercial pork production systems is an abrupt event performed at a fairly young age, i.e., mostly between 2.5 and 5 weeks of age.

Weaning stress and intestinal health of piglets: A review [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Weaning is considered to be one of the most critical periods in pig production, which is related to the economic benefits of pig farms. However, in actual production, many piglets are often subjected to weaning stress due to the sudden separation from ...

Yeast Peptides Improve the Intestinal Barrier Function and Alleviate Weaning Stress by Changing the Intestinal Microflora Structure of Weaned Lambs [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Early weaning stress in lambs leads to decreased feed intake, damage to intestinal morphology, changes in the microbial flora structure, and subsequent complications.

Early Weaning Stress Induces Intestinal Microbiota Disturbance, Mucosal Barrier Dysfunction and Inflammation Response Activation in Pigeon Squabs [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Early weaning stress has been reported to impair intestinal health in mammals. Like mammals, weaning of the pigeon squab, an altricial bird, is associated with social, environmental and dietary stress.

Developmental Changes of Immunity and Different Responses to Weaning Stress of Chinese Indigenous Piglets and Duroc Piglets During Suckling and Weaning Periods [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 To investigate developmental changes in immunity and different responses to weaning stress of piglets from different breeds during suckling and weaning periods, a total of 30 litters of Taoyuan black (TB) piglets, Xiangcun black (XB) piglets, and Duroc ...

Integrated Metagenomic and Metabolomics Profiling Reveals Key Gut Microbiota and Metabolites Associated With Weaning Stress in Piglets [PDF]
Genes(1) Background: Weaning is a challenging and stressful event in the pig’s life, which disrupts physiological balance and induces oxidative stress. Microbiota play a significant role during the weaning process in piglets.

The Combined Effect of Weaning Stress and Immune Activation during Pig Gestation on Serum Cytokine and Analyte Concentrations [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Weaning stress can elicit changes in the metabolic, hormone and immune systems of pigs and interact with prolonged disruptions stemming from maternal immune activation (MIA) during gestation.

Exploring the Link Between Mucin 2 and Weaning Stress-Related Diarrhoea in Piglets. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciTo explore the relationship between intestinal mucin 2 (MUC2) and weaning-induced diarrhoea in piglets, we analysed Min and Landrace piglets. The piglets were divided into a healthy weaned group, a weaned diarrhoea group, and a healthy unweaned control ...

Rumen microbiota inoculation indicates collaborative mechanisms enhancing propionate supply to alleviate weaning stress in lambs. [PDF]
MicrobiomeThe transition from milk to solid feed during weaning often imposes metabolic stress on young ruminants due to energy deficits. Previous studies suggest that ruminal microbiota transplantation from adults to juveniles can alleviate weaning stress, but ...
