Swine gut health
Welcome to the page about Swine gut health of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Swine gut health.
Introduction: Plasma of porcine origin often contains PEDV RNA which raises some concerns about biosecurity and transmission of viruses within pig populations. In contrast, it is well recognized that the addition of plasma to pig feed enhances immune reactions and also has some intrinsic inhibition on virus survival. The objective of this study was to determine if there is any benefit to the diet containing spray-dried plasma (SDP) of bovine origin during acute PEDV...

Introduction Zearalenone (ZEA) is a worldwide distributed mycotoxin as indicated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). 1–3 Its toxicity and incidence was confirmed by recent reports. 4,5 This resorcylic lactone is produced mainly by Fusarium graminearum and is one of the most important toxins causing serious reproductive failures in pig production, due to its ability to couple 17--estradiol receptors. This interference with cytosolic...

Phileo by Lesaffre has shown that feeding yeast (1.3)(1.6) beta-glucan Safglucan can help pigs cope better with the negative effect of enteric disorders caused by Lawsonia intracellularis. This is a new (patent pending) application for Safglucan to help the pork industry achieve profitable production while also reducing antimicrobial usage. Enteric disorders caused by L. intracellularis are often the source of reduced and heterogeneous weight gain, decreased feed...

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...

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...

Introduction The gut microbes of mammals are integral to the prevention of infectious diseases, maintenance of intestinal morphology, nutrient digestion and metabolism, immune modulation of the host (Nicholson et al., 2005; Romick-Rosendale et al., 2009; Hooper et al., 2012). Immediately after birth, the piglet gut is rapidly colonized by a complex and diverse microbiota derived from the sow and environment (Konstantinov et al., 2006). As the pig grows, the gut microbiota becomes...

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...

BACKGROUND The momentum of scientific paper publication toward mycotoxin is an increasing trend where 16,821 papers were recorded in Scopus since the first mycotoxin, aflatoxin (AF) was identified in the year 1965. Data clearly showed the significance of mycotoxin research which will be further discussed later in this review paper. Nevertheless, the global health issue arose from mycotoxin is still frequently ignored in many low-income countries, where mycotoxins affect staple...

Introduction: Gastric ulcerations are a special challenge in modern pork production. Stress can be a reason but in particular the existing milieu conditions have an impact on the development of gastric lesions. The dietetic effects of fibre sources in pigs’ gastrointestinal tract are well known. In some cases fibre sources are used as material for the pigs to root and manipulate. The present study was focused on the amount ingested when fibre sources are offered and...

Introduction Globally, industrial coproducts from the dry and wet milling of cereal grains are often included in swine diets to reduce feed cost; however, they contain greater levels of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) than their parent grain (Jaworski et al., 2015). It has been well established that pigs lack the enzymes required to digest NSP, and that increased dietary NSP can reduce nutrient and energy digestibility, impair hindgut fermentation, and increase digesta...

1. Introduction The small intestine is a highly differentiated and complex organ with many nutritional, physiological, and immunological functions [1–8]. First, the small intestine is responsible for the terminal digestion and absorption of dietary nutrients and is, therefore, essential to health, growth, development, reproduction, and sustaining life in organisms. Second, the neonatal small intestine can absorb immunoglobulins from milk before gut closure, which is...

1. Introduction Standardized ileal digestibility (SID) has become the accepted standard to measure amino acid (AA) digestibility (Stein et al., 2007a; Levesque et al., 2010). In nutrition, apparent ileal digestibility (AID) increases with dietary AA concentration while true ileal digestibility (TID) and SID are assumed to be independent of AA concentration (Stein et al., 2007a). The digestibility of SID AA in feed ingredients is important to the swine industry, and many...

INTRODUCTION “Ideal protein” means that no amino acid (AA) is to be supplied in excess of requirements as compared to any other AA in pig diet: i.e., an exact balance of AA, without deficiency or excess. As a consequence, protein retention (protein gain in relation to protein intake) is maximized and nitrogen excretion is minimized. This is possible through an adequate combination of protein concentrates and synthetic AA supplements (Leclercq, 1998). The use of the ideal...

INTRODUCTION The pig’s weaning period is possibly the most stressful time of its productive life and is the foundation of a thriving lifetime of growth performance [1]. During this critical period, weaned piglets face a variety of problems, including post-weaning diarrhea and reduced feed intake due to an immature immune system and limited enzyme secretory capacity [2], both of which are economically significant in today’s pig industry. Therefore, it is critical...

Introduction Current demand for improvements in production performance (feed conversion rate, average daily gain, speed of growth, etc.) in animal production implies very high needs for metabolizable energy. These needs can only be met with the contribution of fat in the diet. Fats are necessary for maintenance of body temperature, synthesis of hormones, proper functioning of the central...
