Porcine mucosal immune response against E coli may be modulated by dietary probiotic supplementation.
The future’s green! The future’s Olmix!
The commonly held view amongst Western pig producers is that Asian pig producers use antibiotic growth promoters as a substitute for good husbandry techniques. No doubt some Asian producers do have this mentality, but increasingly there are worries about antibiotic residues in pork with the carry -over effects on the consumer and so progressive producers are looking to find green alternatives to AGPs.
New insights from Danisco on probiotics

Use of Oligosaccharides in Swine Nutrition
Our research model has been a short chain fructooligosaccharide (scFOS) fed to swine. This compound was selected because it was identified in human and swine milk, was shown to have health benefits in human infants and patients recovering from intestinal anastomosis. The health benefit was believed to occur via the trophic effect of scFOS on the Bifidobacteria population.
