Swine gut health
Welcome to the page about Swine gut health of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Swine gut health.
Background Extremely high price of fish meal and whey protein concentrate increases overall cost of pork production. Because of advances in biotechnology, the use of supplemental amino acids in animal feeding are extended to Lys, Met, Thr, Trp, Val, Gln, and possibly Ile. Utilization of these essential amino acids as feed additives benefits swine industry by allowing nutritionists...

Introduction The Intestinal spirochete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae is the etiological agent of swine dysentery (SD)—a severe mucohemorrhagic colitis of pigs [1] Despite the economic importance of SD and the need to control the disease, knowledge is lacking about metabolic and other adaptations that have allowed the spirochete to successfully colonize the complex and potentially hostile environment...

Zinc (Zn) plays an important role in the metabolism of swine and as such is an essential trace element for growing pigs, according to Nutriad. Applying a sound SANACORE EN strategy can make a real difference for producers that want to limit the use of zinc oxide in pig feeds. Zinc deficiency may result in reduced feed intake and growth, parakeratosis, impaired wound healing, alopecia, thymus atrophy and impaired immune function. Zinc recommendations for growing pigs vary...

Introduction Bacteria of the genus Brachyspira are anaerobic intestinal spirochaetes that can cause diarrhoea and mortality in pigs and other species. This genus comprises seven officially named species and several provisionally named species. Six of these can be found in the porcine large intestine, and currently three are considered to be enteropathogenic to the pig [1]. The most important is Brachyspira...

The global swine industry adopted early-weaning practices a generation ago. However, early weaned piglets have been plagued by poor growth performance, known as the “post-weaning lag.” One cause of this is the piglets’ hypersensitivity to soy protein – specifically glycinin and β-conglycinin, which make up about 40% and 30% of the total protein found in soybean meal (SBM). These proteins have been found to be allergenic to the intestinal lumen, leading to...

Introduction The intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae is the classical causative agent of swine dysentery (SD), a disease typically associated with severe colitis and bloody mucoid diarrhoea mainly seen in grower and finisher pigs [1]. Two related species, Brachyspira suanatina and “ Brachyspira hampsonii ”, also have been shown to occur in pigs and to cause SD on...

1. Introduction Wheat is one of the most variable in composition among cereal grains (Choct et al., 1999a). These differences are exacerbated by the environmental conditions under which the grains are grown (Longstaff and MacNab, 1986). A review by van Barneveld (1997) using past data for more than 70 cultivars of wheat found differences of up to 3.7 MJ/kg dry matter (DM) in digestible...

One of the most important changes in livestock production over the past two decades has been the recognition of gut health as a key driver of animal performance. This phenomenon has been accelerated by increasing awareness of the impact of good livestock management profitability and the importance on disease prevention, as well as the search for means to reduce the use of antibiotics. It therefore comes as no surprise that many functional feed additives, i.e. components included...

Introduction The large and diverse microbial population contained in the mammalian gastrointestinal tract plays an important role in health and nutrient digestion 1–3 . The distal gut harbors the majority of human gut microorganisms, with approximately 1012 microbes per milliliter of luminal contents, and there are at least 500–1,000 species reside in the...

A three-day symposium titled Gut Health in Production of Food Animals will be held November 14–16, 2016, in St. Louis, Missouri. The aim of this meeting is to discuss the role of good health in animal production and the dynamic and essential role the gut plays in it.
The symposium will include all species in animal agriculture and cover different aspects of the gut and important factors in gut health maintenance and disease. It will also provide a...

Introduction Probiotic bacteria may exert a beneficial effect on the host’s health by steering immunological reactions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. One example for a bacterial strain that is applied in fermented probiotic drinks is Lactobacillus plantarum ( L. plantarum : De Vries et al. 2006; Molin 2001). L....

Introduction Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) is a pleomorphic, enveloped RNA virus, classified as a coronavirus under the family Coronaviridae [1]. The virus was first identified during an outbreak of diarrhea on a Belgian swine breeding farm in 1978 [2]. Upon infection with PEDV, suckling pigs experience diarrhea, vomiting, and high mortality [3]. Since the initial identification of PEDV, it has been...

Stimulation of feed intake is a key factor in managing the health of weaned piglets. More sophisticated animal protein products have become available, with a range of functionalities to support growth of healthy piglets.
Protein is the most expensive nutrient in diets for weaned piglets. Type and quality of protein sources have shown to influence the performance and health status of weaned piglets. In general, animal protein sources have a higher nutritional value for piglets in the...

Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) virus will become a notifiable disease in England, effective December 18. Pig keepers and veterinarians will be legally required to inform the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) of any suspicion of the disease. The measure has been introduced by government at the request of pig industry bodies, including the National Pig Association (NPA).
If a test for PED virus proves...
