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...

I. INTRODUCTION Mycotoxin-contaminated feeds are frequently reported to be more toxic for animals than their purified forms, indicating possible interactions with each other or with the micro-organisms in the animal’s gastrointestinal tract (JECFA, 2002) as bacteria (Galarza-Seeber et al, 2016). The gastrointestinal tract is the largest immune organ, where several immuno-regulatory mechanisms simultaneously defend the body (Belkaid & Hand, 2014). Yet, it is also home...

The on-going battle against African Swine Fever and Covid-19 have caused major challenges globally affecting both food production and food security. This has been very evident in swine production, as most top pork producers and exporters were affected. Spain, being the top pork exporter, was among the first countries to be hit by the Covid-19 pandemic causing disruptions in pork supply not only to its exports but also affecting domestic supply in EU as well. This has also significantly...

Introduction Weaning events such as changes in diets, facilities, and littermates are among the factors that cause weaning stress. The weaning stress can lead to inflammatory activation in the intestine and damage of enterocytes [1, 2], reducing the digestibility of nutrients in feeds and nutrient absorption. It has long been demonstrated that pigs weaned at older ages are less susceptible to weaning stress and, thus, have improved feed intake and body weight gain [3–5]....
