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 ...

The Impact of Weaning Stress on Gut Health and the Mechanistic Aspects of Several Feed Additives Contributing to Improved Gut Health Function in Weanling Piglets—A Review [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Newly weaned pig encounters psychosocial, physical, and nutritional stressors simultaneously when their immune system is not fully developed. These stressors have a cumulative effect on the immune response that contributes to the post-weaning growth lag ...

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.

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.

Biomarker responses to weaning stress in beef calves [PDF]
Research in Veterinary Science, 2014 The study objective was to investigate the physiological effects of weaning on beef calves and identify a panel of blood-based welfare biomarkers. On the day (d) of weaning (d 0), 16 spring-born, single-suckled, beef bull calves that previously grazed with their dams at pasture, were assigned to one of two treatments: (1) control (n = 8), calves were ...

Hydrolyzed Yeast Supplementation in Calf Starter Promotes Innate Immune Responses in Holstein Calves under Weaning Stress Condition [PDF]
Animals, 2020 Weaned calves are susceptible to infectious diseases because of the stress and malnutrition that occurs during weaning. Therefore, the dairy industry requires effective feed additives to ameliorate stress responses and promote immunity.
