Weanling pigs, with immature immune system and physiological function, usually experience post-weaning diarrhea. This study determined the effects of dietary Clostridium butyricum supplementation on growth performance, diarrhea, immunity weaned pigs challenged lipopolysaccharide (LPS).In Experiment (Exp.) 1, 144 piglets were at 21 d randomly assigned to six groups, replicates per group four replicate, receiving a control diet (CON) or supplemented antibiotics (AB) C. (CB) (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4%,...
Phyllanthus emblica L. (PE) is commonly known as a medicine and food homologous plant, which abundant in natural products polyphenols. In the present study, polyphenols were extracted from PE fruit by response surface method, anti-aging ability was determined. exhibited strong antioxidant capacities scavenging free radicals, anti-cholinesterase inhibition of AChE (IC50 0.2186 ± 0.0416 mg/mL) BuChE 0.0542 0.0054 vitro. Moreover, showed protective effect against aging process Caenorhabditis...
In this research, the different methods (acid extraction, alkaline extraction and enzymatic extraction) were used to extract soluble dietary fiber (SDF) from pomegranate peel compared with water extraction. Results revealed that all three influenced structure, physicochemical functional properties of SDF. Especially, SDF extracted by enzymes (E-SDF) alkali (A-SDF) had higher yield (27.30% 27.17%), molecular weight thermal stability than (W-SDF). Higher oil holding capacity (OHC) was found in...
Abstract Background Beneficial effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) on the reproduction male animals are widely described in literature. However, there is little information about effect n-3/n-6 PUFA ratios health and reproduction. The aim this study was to investigate diets with different reproductive performance rats. Methods Eighty Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were supplemented containing (0.13, 0.40, 0.85, 1.52 2.85) for 60 days. Half each group sacrificed day 60, other...
To study the effects of maternal dietary fiber composition during gestation on offspring antioxidant capacity, inflammation, and gut microbiota composition, we randomly assigned 64 gilts to four treatments administered diets with an insoluble/soluble ratio 3.89 (R1), 5.59 (R2), 9.12 (R3), 12.81 (R4). Sow samples (blood feces at 110) neonatal (blood, liver, colonic contents) were collected. The results showed that sows piglets in R1 R2 had higher enzyme activity lower pro-inflammatory factor...
This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary live yeast (LY) supplementation on growth, intestinal permeability and immunological parameters piglets challenged with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88 (ETEC). Piglets weaned at 21 d were allocated into three treatments six pens per pen, receiving control diet (CON), diets supplemented antibiotics plus zinc oxide (ANT-ZnO) LY (Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain CNCM I-4407), respectively, for a period 2 weeks. On day 8, thirty-six...
We investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with Bacillus subtilis PB6 (B. PB6) during late gestation and lactation on sow reproductive performance, antioxidant indices, gut microbiota. A total 32 healthy Landrace × Yorkshire sows d 90 were randomly assigned to 2 groups, 16 replicates per group, receiving basal diet (CON) or + 0.2% B. PB6, containing 4.0 108 CFU/kg feed (BS). The litter sizes (total born) numbers piglets born alive larger in BS group (P < 0.01), whereas weights...
Abstract Background The feed intake of sows during lactation is often lower than their needs. High-fiber usually used gestation to increase the voluntary lactation. However, mechanism underlying effect bulky diets on appetites have not been fully clarified. current study was conducted determine whether a high-fiber diet improves lactational (LFI) by modulating gut microbiota. Methods We selected an appropriate and utilized fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) method conduct research role...
Intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) and fetal overgrowth increase risks to postnatal health. Maternal nutrition is the major intrauterine environmental factor that alters weight. However, mechanisms underlying effects of maternal on development are not entirely clear. We developed a pig model, using isobaric tags for relative absolute quantification (iTRAQ), we investigated alterations in placental proteome gilts normal-energy-intake (Con) high-energy-intake (HE) diet. In Con group,...
Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of organic acid (OA) supplementation in a highly digestible (Exp. 1) or less diet 2) on growth performance and intestinal health weaned pigs. In Exp. 1, total 240 pigs at day 21 assigned one five dietary treatments: negative control (NC) (basal diet, 3,000 ppm zinc oxide (ZnO) first 2 wk only); positive (PC) (NC plus 10 mg/kg bacitracin, 5 colistin sulfate, olaquindox); OA1 0.2% blend encapsulated butyrate, medium-chain fatty acids [MCFA],...
Postnatal rapid growth by excess intake of nutrients has been associated with an increased susceptibility to diseases in neonates intra-uterine restricted (IUGR). The aim the present study was determine whether postnatal nutritional restriction could improve intestinal development and immune function IUGR using piglets as model. A total twelve pairs normal-birth weight (NBW) (7 d old) were randomly assigned receive adequate nutrient or (RNI) artificially liquid feeding for a period 21 d....
