Human milk oligosaccharide supplementation did not affect gut development in the healthy neonatal piglet
… health of the baby and cultivating a healthy gut microbiota population. It also has the ability to modulate gut function, but its effects in the gut of the healthy IUGR piglet are largely unknown. Objective: To investigate the effect of supplementation of HMOs in piglet formula on gut …

Epigenetic Regulation Controls Intrinsic and Extrinsic Drivers of Gastrointestinal Development
Gastrointestinal development begins with the formation of a featureless tube known as the primitive gut tube. Endodermal cells lining the inside of the gut tube differentiate into the functional epithelial units of the gastrointestinal system. Mesodermal cells surround the endodermal layer and …

A comparison of physical characteristics of pine shavings biosecure pine shavings and sunflower hulls as litter material and its influence on broiler performance
… m2, mortalities and total feed consumed. Broiler gut development (weight and length) and footpad dermatitis scoring were also investigated. The results of this study revealed that litter converged toward similar physical characteristics (P > 0.05) at the end of a production cycle due to addition …

Evaluation of Age and Dietary Ingredients on Nutrient Utilization in the Young Chick
… diet and that Oasis(TM) may be stimulating early gut development. Our results suggest some potential benefits of feeding dextrose, dextrinized starches, waxy-corn, high-oil corn, soy protein isolate, soy protein concentrate, and Oasis(TM) during the first 1 to 3 weeks posthatching. The results …

Uncovering Signalling Pathways Mediating Gastrointestinal Morphogenesis and Tumorigenesis
… system undergoes remarkable morphogenesis during development, in which a simple, smooth tube rapidly rearranges to form millions of finger-like projections called villi that line the entire intestinal tract. While gastrointestinal development requires precisely coordinated intercellular …

Left, Right, and Center: A Novel Midline Barrier Separates Asymmetric Extracellular Matrix During Intestinal Development
… depends on the early embryonic process of gut rotation, an evolutionarily-conserved program in which a straight gut tube elongates and forms into its first loops. The gut tube requires guidance to loop reproducibly, however. The dorsal mesentery (DM) connects the gut tube to the rest of the …

MUSCLE-SPECIFIC MECP2 MISEXPRESSION INDUCES SKELETAL AND VISCERAL MUSCLE DEFECTS RESCUED BY BUTYRATE SUPPLEMENTATION IN DROSOPHILA
… whose dosage alterations cause two severe neurodevelopmental disorders: Rett syndrome (RTT), linked to loss-of-function mutations, and MECP2 duplication syndrome (MDS), linked to overexpression. Although widely studied for their neurological symptoms, these disorders also display prominent …

Phenotypic and microbial influences on dairy heifer fertility and calf gut microbial development
… tract would influence heifer fertility and calf gut microbial development. The objectives of this dissertation were: 1) to examine differences in phenotypes related to reproductive physiology in virgin Holstein heifers based on outcome of first insemination, 2) to characterize the uterine …
