Animal performance, feed efficiency, and overall health are heavily dependent on gut health.
Changes in animal production systems and feed regulations away from the use of antibiotic …

Starch from cereal grains, pulse grains, and tubers is a major energy substrate in swine
rations constituting up to 55% of the diet. In pigs, starch digestion is initiated by salivary and …

At present, substantial amounts of low-cost, fibrous co-products are incorporated into pig
diets to reduce the cost of raising swine. However, diets that are rich in fiber are of low …

Dietary fiber (DF) was considered an antinutritional factor due to its adverse effects on feed
intake and nutrient digestibility. However, with increasing evidence, scientists have found …

The aim is to give an overview of available literature data on the role of feed processing on
gut health and function with specific focus on particle size and hydrothermal processing. In …

This study is aimed at identifying the effects of dietary fiber on gut health, as well as the
association between that understanding and fiber consumption in fish. A total of 300 juvenile …

Dietary starch from feed grains represent the major energy‐yielding sources in diets for
large animals and starch effective digestion has a great impact on animal energy intake for …

Intestinal health is closely associated with overall animal health and performance and,
consequently, influences the production efficiency and profit in feed and animal production …

The immediate post-weaning period poses a major challenge on the survival of piglets.
Similarly, newly hatched chicks face life threatening challenges due to enteric infections. In …

Experiments involving food restriction are common practice in metabolic research. Under
fasted conditions, mice supplement their diet with cage bedding. We aimed at identifying …
