Effects of removing in-feed antibiotics and zinc oxide on the taxonomy and functionality of the microbiota in post weaning pigs
BackgroundPost weaning diarrhoea (PWD) causes piglet morbidity and mortality at weaning and is a major driver for antimicrobial use worldwide. New...

Temporal dynamics of the fecal microbiome in female pigs from early life through estrus, parturition, and weaning of the first litter of piglets
BackgroundAge-associated changes in the gastrointestinal microbiome of young pigs have been robustly described; however, the temporal dynamics of the...

Gut microbiome and resistome characterization of pigs treated with commonly used post-weaning diarrhea treatments
BackgroundThe global burden of antimicrobial resistance demands additional measures to ensure the sustainable and conscious use of antimicrobials....

Impacts of weaning weights and mycotoxin challenges on jejunal mucosa-associated microbiota, intestinal and systemic health, and growth performance of nursery pigs
BackgroundThis study aimed at investigating the effects of mycotoxin challenge on the growth and physiology of nursery pigs with different weaning...

Prebiotic galactooligosaccharide improves piglet growth performance and intestinal health associated with alterations of the hindgut microbiota during the peri-weaning period
BackgroundWeaning stress reduces growth performance and health of young pigs due in part to an abrupt change in diets from highly digestible milk to...

Impacts of weaning age on dietary needs of whey permeate for pigs at 7 to 11 kg body weight
BackgroundWhey permeate is an effective lactose source for nursery pigs and the most benefits are obtained when pigs are at 7 to 11 kg BW. Altering...

Interactions between maternal parity and feed additives drive the composition of pig gut microbiomes in the post-weaning period
BackgroundNursery pigs undergo stressors in the post-weaning period that result in production and welfare challenges. These challenges...

Dietary Bacillus spp. supplementation to both sow and progenies improved post-weaning growth rate, gut function, and reduce the pro-inflammatory cytokine production in weaners challenged with Escherichia coli K88
BackgroundThe use of probiotics (PRO) in late gestation sow and their impact on progenies’ performance during the post-weaning stage has received...

Excess dietary Lys reduces feed intake, stimulates jejunal CCK secretion and alters essential and non-essential blood AA profile in pigs
BackgroundCommercial diets are frequently formulated to meet or exceed nutrient levels including those of limiting essential amino acids (AA)...

Effects of weaning on intestinal longitudinal muscle-myenteric plexus function in piglets
Weaning piglets usually suffer from severe diarrhea (commonly known as postweaning diarrhea, PWD) along with intestinal motility disorder. Intestinal...

Effect of weaning and feed provision times on the performance and several behavioural traits of post-weaning lambs
The aim of the present study was to assess if weaning time (morning or evening) and feed provision (immediate or 4 h delayed) can influence growth...

Effects of Organic Zinc on the Growth Performance of Weanling Pigs: A Meta-analysis
Supplementation of feed with organic zinc (Zn) has long been discussed as an alternative to inorganic Zn in pigs, but its effects on growth...

Dietary supplementation of zinc oxide modulates intestinal functionality during the post-weaning period in clinically healthy piglets
BackgroundTo improve our understanding of host and intestinal microbiome interaction, this research investigated the effects of a high-level zinc...

Enteroendocrine peptides, growth, and the microbiome during the porcine weaning transition
BackgroundGrowth rate in pigs can be affected by numerous factors that also affect feeding behavior and the microbiome. Recent studies report some...

Lower abundance of Bacteroides and metabolic dysfunction are highly associated with the post-weaning diarrhea in piglets
Growing evidences show a direct link between diarrhea and disorders of gut microbiota in pigs. However, whether there are microbial markers...
