Rising global atmospheric temperatures are expected to negatively affect farmed animals,
especially pigs. To study the likely effects, pigs were exposed to chronic heat stress and their …

Background Various stressors alter the'brain-gut axis' and contribute to many
gastrointestinal disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease. However, the pathological …

The pathological mechanisms of gastrointestinal disorders, including inflammatory bowel
disease (IBD), in pigs are poorly understood. We report the induction of intestinal …

The present study aimed at investigating the impact of heat challenges on gut microbiota
composition in growing pigs and its relationship with pigs' performance and …

Heat stress (HS) can be detrimental to the gut health of swine. Many negative outcomes
induced by HS are increasingly recognized as including modulation of intestinal microbiota …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of chronic heat stress (HS) on
microbiota composition of gestating sows and of their female offspring. There were two …

Simple Summary Heat stress is a significant environmental challenge faced by food animal
production worldwide because of its adverse effects on animal performance and …

Simple Summary Heat stress is a major concern in pig production in summer, as pigs have a
limited number of functional sweat glands to transfer body heat. Above 25° C pigs are out of …

Context: Cold stress is a significant factor that contributes to the imbalance of energy in
piglets during their early life. Recent studies have shown that gut microbiota plays a crucial …

Background Previous studies had shown that short-term acute heat stress (HS) affected the
host's metabolism and intestinal microbiota independent of feed intake (FI) reduction, and …
