Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of using ground herb-based phytobiotics and essential oil-based in pig diets on intestinal health growth performance (GP) nursery pigs challenged with F18+ Escherichia coli (E. coli). Forty (6.4 ± 0.1 kg) at 21 d age were individually housed assigned 4 dietary treatments a randomized complete block design, body weight (BW) sex as blocking factor. Basal fed for 28 3 phases. Treatments NC: basal diet, non-challenged; PC: E. coli; HP: PC + 1%...
Abstract The study aimed to evaluate the effects of increasing levels a microencapsulated blend botanicals (MBB) on intestinal health and growth performance nursery pigs challenged with F18+ E. coli. Sixty-four (6.8 ± 0.3 kg) were assigned four dietary treatments in randomized complete block design, initial body weight sex as blocks, fed for 28 d 3 phases. Treatments basal diet without coli challenge (NC) MBB (0.0, 0.1, 0.2%) On 7 study, group orally inoculated (1.5 × 1010 CFU). 21...
Abstract The objective of this study was to test a hypothesis that nursery pigs would be more susceptible F18+E. coli for their impacts on the jejunal mucosal immunity at early age. Thirty-two were weaned 21 d age (6.8 ± 0.3 kg) and allotted 2 treatments (NC: no challenge; PC: challenge) in randomized complete block design, with initial body weight sex as blocks, fed 14 (in phases: 7 d, respectively) or 28 3 7, 13, 8 respectively). On orally inoculated (1.5 × 1010 CFU). At 35 49 age,...
Abstract Dramatic changes to the external environment during post-weaning period impose significant stress upon gastrointestinal tract of pigs. This effect is most evident in small intestine, where antinutritional, allergenic, antigenic, and pathogenic components from dietary sources cause alteration bacterial populations lumen, as well mucosal tissue. The microbiota direct contact with host enterocytes intestine whereas luminal interacts indirectly via their metabolites. Host recognize...
Abstract The objective of this study was to test the effects increasing levels a microencapsulated blend botanicals (MBB) against an F18+E. coli challenge on mucosa-associated microbiota, mucosal immunity, and morphology in jejunum nursery pigs. Thirty-two pigs (6.8 ± 0.3 kg) were assigned 4 dietary treatments randomized complete block design, with initial body weight sex as blocks, fed for 28 d 3 phases (7/13/8 d, respectively). Four negative control (NC, receiving corn-soy basal diet)...
Abstract In nursery diets, ingredients with high protein content and highly digestible nutrients, such as corn-fermented product added yeast mass (GDDY), can be included an alternative to common sources. This study investigated the dietary inclusion of GDDY source on growth performance intestinal health weaned pigs. A total 594 pigs (5.7 ± 0.9 kg; 18.5 days age) were allotted 36 pens in a randomized incomplete block design. Pens assigned one 4 treatments: CON: feeding program; SBM75: CON...
Abstract Phytobiotics are plant-derived rich in bioactive compounds such as phenolics, organosulfur compounds, terpenes, and aldehydes. can be classified based on their origin or chemical structure, with the main categories being essential oils, oleoresins, herbs spices. have gained interest due to positive effects animal health, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial properties resulting improved growth performance. This review explores mode of action phytobiotics...
Abstract Two experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that two high protein dried distillers with solubles and yeast mass added (GDDY) products fed growing pigs had comparable amino acid (AA) digestibility metabolizable energy (ME) feeds commonly used in swine diets. In experiment 1, seven barrows an initial body weight (BW) of 25 ± 0.8 kg fitted a simple T-cannula at distal ileum allow for digesta collection. Experimental diets N-free six cornstarch-based containing ingredients as...
