Functional ingredients became essential for sustainable development to improve health status, prevent disease, and reduce the use of medication. This study aimed determine potential prebiotic role Ascophyllum nodosum Lithothamnium calcareum using Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Limosilactobacillus reuteri as microorganism models. Key bioactive compounds algae were identified LC-QTOF-MS/MS. The influence inclusion on growth Lactobacilli strains was evaluated. activities co-culture evaluated...
Animal manure is one of the diffusion routes heavy metals and metalloids into environment, where soil can accumulate them. Heavy then be released groundwater sources, absorbed by crops, enter food chain with negative effects for human animal health. The aim this study was to evaluate concentration mineral nutrients from modern rearing systems in order develop effective strategies increase sustainability. Samples feed (n = 24: n 16 swine, 8 cattle), faeces 120: 80 40 cattle) water 8), were...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects tributyrin supplementation on production traits, main metabolic parameters and gut microbiota in weaned piglets. One hundred twenty crossbred piglets (Large White × Landrace) were randomly divided into two experimental groups (six pens each; 10 per pen): control group (CTRL), that received a basal diet, (TRIB) diet supplemented with 0.2% tributyrin. period lasted 40 days. Production traits measured at days 14, 28 40. A subset composed 48...
The objectives of the study were to test biological activities peppermint and spearmint oils via (i) measuring in vitro anti-inflammatory effects with porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), (ii) determining barrier integrity IPEC-J2 by analyzing transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), (iii) testing their antioxidant activities, (iv) investigating antimicrobial activity against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) F18+. Briefly, seeded at 106 cells/mL treated (24 h) mint...
Abstract Anthocyanins are water-soluble pigments contained in numerous food plants. This study provides an overall quantitative literature analysis on anthocyanins. Bibliometric data were collected through the search string TOPIC = anthocyan*, which yielded 44,121 publications indexed within Web of Science Core Collection. Term maps generated using VOSviewer software to visualize frequently mentioned terms alongside their citation data. The has been growing fast since 2000s and predominantly...
In pig livestock, alternatives to in-feed antibiotics are needed control enteric infections. Plant extracts such as tannins can represent an alternative a natural source of functional compounds. The aim this study was evaluate the in vitro digestibility and vivo effects oral supplementation combined chestnut (Ch) quebracho (Qu) order establish if they induce positive effect on weaned piglets’ performance, metabolic status fecal parameters. (dry matter, DM) diets calculated using multi-step...
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global concern, prompting for antibiotic alternatives in animal production. Seaweed, abundant bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory properties, offers natural substitute to synthetic compounds. Considering this, the objective of present study was evaluate bioactivity three seaweeds 1:1 combination Ascophyllum nodosum, Palmaria palmata, and Ulva lactuca. Initially, polyphenol, flavonoid, total phlorotannin content seaweed species were assessed...
Butyrate and its derivatives may influence inflammatory status physiology in a variety of organisms organ systems. Inflammatory conditions the gastrointestinal tract, such as post-weaning diarrhea, negatively impact swine. Dietary intervention with butyrate-based compounds should be considered strategy to improve disease resistance pigs. We aimed assess properties different forms butyrate treatments using porcine cell culture experiments. This assessment inform future vivo feed experiments...
The effects of the dietary administration a combination Quebracho and Chestnut tannins, leonardite tributyrin were evaluated in weaned piglets. A total 168 piglets (Landrace × Large White) randomly allotted to two experimental groups (6 pens/group, 14 piglets/pen). Animals fed basal control diet (CTRL) treatment (MIX) supplemented with 0.75% tannin extracts, 0.25% 0.20% for 28 days. Individual body weight feed intake recorded weekly. Diarrhoea incidence was by faecal scoring scale (0-3;...
Botanicals exhibit promising impacts on intestinal health, immune-regulation, and growth promotion in weaned pigs. However, these benefits may vary depending major active components the final feed additive products. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate two types of botanical blends (BB) that were comprised 0.3% capsicum oleoresin 12% garlic extracts from different sources performance, diarrhea, health piglets experimentally infected with a pathogenic Escherichia coli F18. Sixty...
Abstract The loss of agrobiodiversity is a topic global impact. On local scale, Lombardy, in the Alpine macro-Region, has lost more than 78% its plant agrobiodiversity. Only four maize ( Zea mays L. subsp. ) landraces Lombardy are registered European Register Conservation Varieties. However, there other such as “Mais delle Fiorine”, which was characterized from an agronomic, morphometric, nutritional and genetic point view this research then compared with already (“Spinato di Gandino”,...
Post Weaning Diarrhea (PWD) is the most important multifactorial gastroenteric disease of weaning in pig livestock. Phytogenic (PHY) natural extracts are largely studied as alternatives to antibiotic treatments combating global concern antimicrobial resistance. The aim this study was evaluate protective effect innovative phytogenic premix with or without short and medium chain fatty acids (SCFA MCFA) O138 Escherichia coli challenged piglets. Twenty-seven weaned piglets were allotted into...
Nutrition and health during pre-weaning affect the calves' future fertility, calving age, production, carrier length. Calves are highly susceptible to neonatal calf diarrhea (NCD), which can be fatal. NCD is due hypovolemia acidosis, may involve anorexia ataxia. The One Health principle calls for a drastic reduction in antimicrobial use. approach improve animal reduce use of antibiotics functional ingredients that have beneficial effects bioactive compounds. Several additives considered,...
Abstract Intestinal barrier function in vitro is quantified by the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) across epithelial cell monolayers due to polarization and expression of tight junction proteins. The objective current study was measure TEER porcine intestinal cells (IPEC-J2) treated with butyric acid, sodium butyrate, monobutyrin tributyrin. MTT assays were performed for each compound determine viability appropriate treatment doses. Butyric acid tributyrin treatments were: 0,...

Abstract One of the reactive forms oxygen is hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ), which has been investigated as a key component growth processes and stress responses. Different methods for determination H production by animal bacterial cells exist; however, its detection in algal cell cultures more complicated due to presence photosynthetic pigments complex structure walls. Considering these issues, reliable, quick, simple method needed phycological research. The aim this methodological study was...
