Gut health: stimulate the colonization of beneficial microbiota
How can we promote a healthier microbiota, favorable for the pig and for its productivity? And, when is the best time to get it?

The extraordinary potentials of probiotics
This meeting is an illustration of the broad — and still untapped — potential for probiotic applications in all aspects of animal nutrition and well-being, from piglets to honeybees.
Probiotics, prebiotics and colostrum as feed additives for piglets under vaccination against PRRSV
The development of piglet immune system under vaccination against PRRSV it is not improved by the use of probiotics and prebiotics or colostrum.
Dietary supplementation of Enterococcus faecium, mannan oligosaccharide and benzoic acid in fattening pigs
Dietary combination of probiotics, prebiotics and organic acids improve growth, health and immunity in fattening pigs.
Effect of different factors on the piglet gut microbiota
The feeding practices, the choice of the raw materials and the addition of additives have the potential of modulating the GI microbiota, reducing the energy cost for maintenance and also controlling the pathogenic bacteria.
Green kiwifruit modulates the colonic microbiota in growing pigs
Gastrointestinal disorders in pigs could be discouraged by green kiwifruit consumption
Efficacy of probiotics from anaerobic microflora with prebiotics on growth performance and noxious gas emission in growing pigs
The results of the present study suggest that synbiotics exert similar effects with antibiotics on the nutrient digestibility and fecal microflora composition in growing pigs. Moreover, synbiotics can also decrease the fecal noxious gas emission in growing pigs.
The effect of cereal-derived beta-glucans and exogenous enzyme supplementation on intestinal microflora, nutrient digestibility, mineral metabolism and volatile fatty acid concentrations in finisher pigs
Barley-based diets have more beneficial effects on gut health, oat-based diets have higher potential to enhance beneficial microbial populations and endogenous β-glucans show better prebiotic properties.
Histological changes in the small intestinal epithelium in fattening pigs fed selected feed additives
The production experiment was conducted on 48 fattener pigs fed complete diets supplemented with the antibiotic flavomycin (group C), a probiotic (Pedicoccus acidilactici) or a prebiotic (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).
