The Microbiome-Metabolome Response in the Colon of Piglets Under the Status of Weaning Stress. [PDF]

Front Microbiol, 2020
Weaning is stressful for piglets involving nutritional, physiological, and psychological challenges, leading to an increase in the secretion of cortisol, changes in gut microbiome and metabolites, whereas the underlying relationships remain unclear.

Effect of age at weaning on the physiological stress response and temperament of two beef cattle breeds

Animal, 2009
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of age at weaning and breed on the stress response of calves to weaning and their temperament. At calving, 14 Parda de Montaña calves and 14 Pirenaica calves were randomly assigned to either early weaning ...

Increasing weaning age of piglets from 4 to 7 weeks reduces stress, increases post-weaning feed intake but does not improve intestinal functionality

Animal, 2010
This study tested the hypothesis that late weaning and the availability of creep feed during the suckling period compared with early weaning, improves feed intake, decreases stress and improves the integrity of the intestinal tract.

Weaning stress and gastrointestinal barrier development: Implications for lifelong gut health in pigs

Animal Nutrition, 2017
The gastrointestinal (GI) barrier serves a critical role in survival and overall health of animals and humans. Several layers of barrier defense mechanisms are provided by the epithelial, immune and enteric nervous systems.

Alleviating calf weaning stress: the important role of maternal bovine appeasing substance in calf husbandry management [PDF]

Animal Bioscience
Objective Weaning stress impairs calf health by causing growth retardation and immune dysfunction, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. Maternal bovine appeasing substance (MBAS) has been proposed as a novel therapy for stress in cattle, but

A carvacrol–thymol blend decreased intestinal oxidative stress and influenced selected microbes without changing the messenger RNA levels of tight junction proteins in jejunal mucosa of weaning piglets

Animal, 2017
Recent studies indicate that intestinal oxidative stress and microbiota imbalance is involved in weaning-induced intestinal dysfunction in piglets. We have investigated the effect of feeding a carvacrol–thymol blend supplemented diet on intestinal redox ...

Weaning Induces Stress-Dependent DNA Methylation and Transcriptional Changes in Piglet PBMCs

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Changes to the epigenome, including those to DNA methylation, have been proposed as mechanisms by which stress can induce long-term physiological changes in livestock species. Pig weaning is associated with dietary and social stress, both of which elicit

Pre-weaning socialisation with non-littermates in piglets: reduced weaning stress when regrouped with unfamiliar piglets post-weaning?

Veterinary Evidence, 2023
PICO question In piglets in indoor housing systems does pre-weaning socialisation with non-littermates compared to no pre-weaning socialisation with non-littermates result in lower weaning stress when regrouped with unfamiliar piglets post-weaning ...
