The porcine gut after Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 feeding in a Salmonella Typhimurium challenge
It is proposed that Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 exerts an immune modulatory effect by increasing the numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes.

Dietary Lactobacillus brevis supplement on the performance and immune function of piglets
L. Brevis has intestinal immunomodulatory effects although the low capacity to colonize the porcine gut.
Sows supplemented with probiotics and their effects on their offspring
Modifications in faecal microbiota of sows by E. faecium are carried over to their offspring.
Effect of different factors on the piglet gut microbiota
The feeding practices, the choice of the raw materials and the addition of additives have the potential of modulating the GI microbiota, reducing the energy cost for maintenance and also controlling the pathogenic bacteria.
Live yeast supplementation to gestation and lactation diets on reproductive performance in sows
Live yeast supplementation may improve reproductive performance in sows.
Fenugreek seed affects intestinal microbiota and immunological variables in piglets after weaning
Fenugreek seeds might be interesting as a feed ingredient for young piglets.
Age and probiotic supplementation on the development of small intestinal digestive physiology in piglets
Rather than Enterococcus faecium supplementation, age is the main factor for digestive maturation.
Lactobacillus plantarum ZJ316 on pig performance and pork quality
Lactobacillus plantarum ZJ31 supplementation improves growth parameters, pork quality and promotes intestinal villus height in growing pigs.

Dietary inclusion of a combination of two probiotic strains could improve the fatty acid profile of pig meat.
Effects of a live yeast dietary supplement on fecal coliform counts and on peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocyte subpopulations in nursery pigs
When active dry yeast was supplied as a probiotic at 0.3% in the diet of nursery pigs, total fecal coliform counts were lower and proportions of peripheral CD4+, CD4+CD8+, and CD8+ T lymphocyte subsets were higher.

The dietary inclusion of Houttuynia cordata and Taraxacum officinale leads to an improvement of the growth performance, inmune defense and meat quality in finishing pigs.
Plant additives as an alternative to feed antimicrobials in the prevention of postweaning diarrhoea in pigs
Both plants, Eugenia and Pterocarya can represent effective alternatives to feed antimicrobials for the use in prevention of PWD in pigs, but further studies are necessary.
Dietary addition of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG impairs the health of Escherichia coli F4 challenged piglets
