Analysis of Serum microRNA Expression Profiles and Comparison with Small Intestinal microRNA Expression Profiles in Weaned Piglets. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Weaning stress induces tissue injuries and impairs health and growth in piglets, especially during the first week post-weaning. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play vital roles in regulating stresses and diseases.

Minimising the stress of weaning of beef calves: a review [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2011 Abstract Weaning of beef calves is usually done abruptly and early compared to the natural weaning of the species, and is associated with simultaneous exposure of calves to a range of social and environmental stressors. Behavioural and physiological responses to weaning indicate detrimental effects on the welfare of these animals.

Evaluation of oxidative and antioxidant status in dairy calves before and after weaning
Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2021 Weaning is a stressful step in calf rearing which can lead to oxidative stress. The purpose of the present study was to investigate oxidative stress and antioxidant status in calves pre and post weaning.

Effects of dietary chromium-yeast in weaning-stressed piglets [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 1999 The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Cr supplementation (as Cr-yeast) on growth performance, some blood parameters and neutrophils superoxide anion production, in weaning-stressed piglets. Thirteen crossbred (Landrace × Large White) litters were assigned to Cr-supplemented prestarter diet for 21 d (from 10 d after birth to 7 d post ...

Effect of leucine on endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by early weaning in the liver of piglets
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2018 To investigate the effects of dietary leucine supplementation on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the liver of early-weaning piglets, we explored the morphology of liver cells, expression pattern of ER stress-associated proteins, and effects on ER ...

Intestinal barrier function and absorption in pigs after waeaning: a review [PDF]
, 2011 Under commercial conditions, weaning of piglets is associated with social, environmental and dietary stress. Consequently, small-intestinal barrier and absorptive functions deteriorate within a short time after weaning.

Main problems and countermeasures of early weaning of piglets
Siliao yanjiu, 2022 Early weaning technology can reduce the feeding cost by improving annual productivity of sows and feed utilization rate, and thus improve economic benefits of pig breeding, which is of great significance for pig breeding.
