Early intake post-weaning: The real turning point for gut health
Historically, the focus surrounding weaned piglets has been on preventing and controlling post-weaning diarrhea. However, the physiological processes that occur in the first few days after weaning remain poorly understood, despite being essential for gut health. Recent research suggests that immediate post-weaning feeding plays a crucial role in the animal's subsequent development and growth.
Effects of milled almond shells versus wheat bran on reducing the impact of weaning in piglets
Round almond shell supplementation in weanling diets may improve piglet performance and intestinal health after weaning.
Effects of drinking water temperature and flow rate during cold season on growth performance of weaned piglets
This study recommends a specific combination of drinking water temperature and flow rate for weaned piglets during cold weather for the consideration of animal welfare and production efficiency.
Tannic acid supplementation in low-protein diets improves intestinal health and modulates gut microbiota in weaned piglets challenged with E. coli
Tannic acid supplementation may improve gut health in weaned piglets.
Effects of glutamine supplementation on carcass traits, proximate composition, amino acid profile and inflammatory markers in different muscles of pigs
Dietary glutamine supplementation after weaning can improve pig health and pork quality traits at slaughter.
