INTRODUCTION This article aims to show didactic photographs as viable agronomic alternative practices. Guar is a legume with low soil fertility requirements and minimum use of irrigation water, considered a drought-tolerant plant, since it takes advantage of summer rainfall during the rainy season for its growth. It should allow enough time for the main wheat crop being stablished on the recommended planting date for each region. Inoculation with strains of Microsymbiont...
In order to increase the performance reproductive sow, premature weaning of piglets has become common practice, generating stress and retarding the postweaning growth of the pigs. The stress generated by separation from the mother, the abrupt change in food, the inclusion of raw vegetative material in the diet, and the poor development of the gastrointestinal tract in piglets result in a disruption of the mucosa integrity and a reduction in the digestion and absorption of nutrients at the...
Introduction The infection by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one on the most important causes of neonatal and postweaning diarrhea (PWD) in piglets. ETEC causes significant morbidity and mortality, resulting in a large economic loses in the porcine industry. One of the most common ETEC in swine is serotype 0149 which carries the K88 (F4) adhesin that enables the attachment of the bacteria to the intestinal epithelium. ETEC colonizes ileum [1,2], penetrate the...
Introduction: Probiotic has been used as an alternative for antibiotic replacement that possesses an antibacterial efficacy using in pig industry. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are the important probiotic members used worldwide. However, a limitation of probiotic use is mainly caused by host specificity and appropriateness of geographical difference. Besides, the target of probiotic against enteric pathogens should be considered upon epidemiological evidence. However, there was...
The Problem Gut and oviduct microbiota are closely related, especially because of the common connection with the cloaca. In this condition, modulating the gut microbiota with multi-strain probiotic supplementation may change the oviduct tract microbiota. How we investigated or researched the problem Hyline W36 laying hens housed in commercial aviaries were evaluated. Control animals were fed the farm’s conventional diet. The 2nd treatment received the...
Eduardo Cobo (University of Calgary) talked about the path to follow to replace antibiotics in animal production, during IPVS2022 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil....
Growing number of research programs pertaining to the uses of essential oils for animal health will support the global eubiotics market forecast. As concentrated liquids with plant-derived volatile aromatic compound extracts, essential oil-based eubiotics are garnering considerable attention from the animal husbandry sector as they play a crucial part as digestive stimulants for optimal animal health.
DSM, Friesland Campina, BASF SE, Alltech, and Cargill, Inc. are some top eubiotics...
Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of providing a special feed preparation with a new feed additive based on probiotics to newborn piglets in the first day of life, on their performance during the lactation period. Oral administration of porcine lactic acid lactic bacteria in the first hours of life permits an early colonization of the intestine by beneficial microorganisms that can hinder or prevent a later colonization by pathogens. An...
Introduction Gut health is intrinsically linked with animal health, which in turn dictates cost efficient production. Animal health and productivity are intrinsically linked, as are gut health and animal health. In many diseases, diet is implicated as a contributing factor by having direct effects on host metabolism, immune responses, and microbiome composition, subsequently altering disease susceptibility (Plaizier et al. 2018). Gut health is defined...
Probiotics are showing promise as antibiotic replacements but more scientific evidence is required to validate their beneficial effects. Previous broiler feed trials conducted with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain H57 (H57) indicated variable bird performance (Bajagai, 2018). In these trials, birds were kept under “optimal” experimental conditions, where most of stressors were absent from the environment. There is some evidence that probiotics are best applied when a bird or...
The term “postbiotic” is increasingly found in the scientific literature and also on the commercial products over the last few years. But the scientific community is not yet united on what falls into this category. As the term is new and found increasingly popular, the correct idea about it should be...
Swine dysentery (SD) caused by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae is a highly contagious disease of grower and finisher pigs. SD causes severe mucohemorrhagic diarrhea, resulting in decreased feed efficiency and increased morbidity. Necrotic enteritis (NE) caused by Clostridium perfringens is characterized by high mortality in poultry with bloody diarrhea, and sudden death. B. subtilis and B. licheniformis have been identified from the gastrointestinal tract of...
