The gut microbiome has long been known to play fundamentally important roles in the
animal health and the well-being of its host. As such, the establishment and maintenance of …

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infection induced post-weaning diarrhea is one of
the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in newly weaned pigs and one of the …

A diverse and dynamic microbial community (known as microbiota) resides within the pig
gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The microbiota contributes to host health and performance by …

Lactobacillus plantarum can relieve diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
(ETEC), but the remission mechanism has not been fully explained. This study compares the …

This study aimed to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation with xylanase and
probiotics on growth performance and intestinal health of nursery pigs challenged with …

The gut microbiota fundamentally regulates intestinal homeostasis and disease partially
through mechanisms that involve modulation of regulatory T cells (Tregs), yet how the …

Group antimicrobial administration is used to control disease in livestock, but we have little
insight into how this impacts antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene dynamics. Here, a …

Post-weaning diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) causes significant
economic losses for pig producers. This study was to test the hypotheses that an ETEC …

The gastrointestinal tract microbiota interacts with the host to modulate metabolic phenotype.
This interaction could provide insights into why some low birthweight pigs can exhibit …

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary medium-chain fatty acid
(MCFA) addition on nursery pig growth performance, fecal microbial composition, and …
