Effect of leucine on endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by early weaning in the liver of piglets
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 ...

Previous studies have suggested that immune system development and weaning stress are closely related to the maturation of gut microbiota. The early-life period is a “window of opportunity” for microbial colonization, which potentially has a critical ...

Intestinal barrier function and absorption in pigs after waeaning: a review [PDF]
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
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.

Stress response at different ages of weaning in cattle [PDF]
Weaning is an inherent husbandry practice in cow-calf beef production systems that impose physical, psychological, and nutritional stressors on calves. In order to characterize the main stressors and corresponding stress responses of calves, two weaning ...

EFEITO DA MATRICARIA CHAMOMILLA CH12 NO ESTRESSE DA DESMAMA EM SUÍNOS
Weaning is a phase of life that creates stress in pigs causing damage to the welfare and health of pigs. The Matricaria chamomilla CH12 reduced stress management in cattle, but has not been tested in pigs.
