To find out whether dietary amylose/ amylopectin ratio (DAR) could attenuate injury in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged piglets, sixty male weaned piglets (Duroc × Landrace Yorkshire, 21 days old, 6.51 ± 0.64 kg) were allotted to 5 treatments with 12 cages per treatment, and fed ad libitum diets different DAR (0.00, 0.20, 0.40, 0.60 0.80). Feed transformation occurred from D15 D21. On day 28, h before slaughter, pigs intraperitoneal injected 100 μg/kg body weight LPS or sterile saline....
The intestinal upper villus epithelial cells represent the differentiated and play key role in digesting absorbing lumenal nutrients. Weaning stress commonly results a decrease height dysfunction piglets. However, no study have been conducted to test effects of weaning on physiology functions cells. A total 40 piglets from 8 litters were weaned at 14 days age one piglet each litter was killed 0 d (w0d), 1 (w1d), 3 (w3d), 5 (w5d), 7 (w7d) after weaning, respectively. mid-jejunum isolated...
Intestinal epithelial cells in the crypt proliferate piglets response to weaning. However, underlying mechanism has been unclear. We examined 40 from eight litters (five per litter) that were weaned at age of 14 d, and one piglet each litter was randomly selected for closer investigation. Based on distended intestinal sac method, we isolated mid-jejunum Days 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 post-weaning. Protein expression analyzed using either isobaric tags relative absolute quantification or western...
Antibiotics are commonly overused to reduce weaning stress that leads economic loss in swine production. As potential substitutes of antibiotics, plant extracts have attracted the attention researchers. However, one extracts, tannic acid (TA), has an adverse effect on growth performance, palatability, and intestinal absorption piglets when used at a large amount. Thus, this study aimed investigate effects proper dose microencapsulated TA organ development, morphology, nutrient transporters,...
Abstract Intestinal villi are important structures for digesting and absorbing nutrients. It was hypothesized that intestinal villous height (VH) is related to growth performance, VH associated with digestive absorptive capabilities in piglets. Sixty 21‐d‐old weaned piglets were fed identical diets 28 days. The grouped according jejunal or ileal at the end of experiment, including short, middle high groups. final BW (quadratic, p = .003), ADG (liner, .052; quadratic, .030) G: F .074; .005)...
