Influence of organic chromium supplementation on the performance of beef calves undergoing weaning-related stress [PDF]

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2020
: Dietary chromium supplementation before, during, and after weaning was conducted to evaluate the hypothesis that chromium supplementation could reduce weaning-induced cortisol release in beef calves.

Association between weaning stress and rumen microbiota in goat kids: evidence from granger causality and randomized controlled trial validation [PDF]

Animal Bioscience
Objective Although there is some evidence linking weaning stress to altered gut flora and stunted development, the exact nature of this relationship is still up for debate.

Effects of varying dietary folic acid during weaning stress of piglets. [PDF]

Anim Nutr, 2021
The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary folic acid on the growth performance, intestinal morphology, and intestinal epithelial cells renewal in post-weaning piglets. Twenty-eight piglets (weaned at day 21, initial body weight of

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 ...

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

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 ...

Hydrolyzed Yeast Supplementation in Calf Starter Promotes Innate Immune Responses in Holstein Calves under Weaning Stress Condition

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.

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 ...
