Abstract The swine intestinal microbiota dynamically remodels during development and supports gut homeostasis. However, whether stage-specific microbial shifts, are associated with epithelial development remains poorly understood. Here, longitudinal metagenomic profiling of the swine gut microbiome identified Lactiplantibacillus plantarum as a transiently enriched nursery-stage bacterium positively associated with goblet cell numbers. Dietary supplementation with L.

Investigadores de la Universidad de Arkansas comprobaron que el uso de extractos de orégano y romero en la alimentación porcina mejora la salud intestinal y el crecimiento de los cerdos, posicionándose como una alternativa eficaz a los antibióticos tradicionales, según informó Infobae. El uso de compuestos naturales en la producción animal avanza como una tendencia global.

1 Introduction The weaning and transport process has the potential to induce stress and cause intestinal dysfunction in pigs due to feed withdrawal, changes in social hierarchy that lead to fighting, moving into a new environment, handling, maternal separation, and increased disease pressure (de Groot et al., 2001; Toscano et al., 2007; Remience et al., 2008; Lallès and David, 2011; Merlot et al., 2011; Ott et al., 2014).
