In the current study, β-glucan present in fermentation products from Ganoderma lucidum (GLF) was tested as a feed supplement to evaluate its efficacy on growth performance and immunocompetence in weanling piglets suffering from physiological stress during weaning. This article focuses on after challenging with porcine circovirus (PCV) type 2, a supplementation with 50 mg GLF per kg feed also inhibited PCV-2 virus amplification, Figure 1. Detection of PCV-2 nucleic acid in...

Potassium diformate is a strong acidifier that is released slowly in the digestive tract with high buffering properties, which prevents excessive fluctuations in the acidity of the gastrointestinal tract of animals. Studies have shown that 85% of potassium diformate passes through the pig’s stomach and enters the duodenum in its intact form. The...

Background The process of microbial colonization of the gut after birth plays an important role in the development of the neonatal immune system of mammals with implications during their whole life [1]. Immediately after birth, environmental and maternal bacteria, including colonization via the vagina, nipple surface, and milk, quickly colonize the offspring gut and establish the initial microbiota of the piglet [2,3,4]. The intestinal microbiota protects against colonization by...

Introduction Maintenance of general health and prevention of infectious diseases are critically dependent on intestinal homeostasis and proper immune competence. In this regard, early colonization of the gut by microbiota as well as the concomitant development of the intestinal immune system has been proven to be important [1,2,3]. Immediately after birth, the intestine is colonized by bacteria derived from maternal and environmental sources [4,5]. During the early-life period, the...

The swine industry has largely gone to early weaning (3 weeks or earlier) especially in confinement production systems with environmentally controlled nurseries. Economic factors such as increasing the number of pig per sow per year and the need to maximize the capital cost of swine farrowing units by moving more sow through the facilities has...
