An investigation of the prebiotic potential and gut health benefits of Irish seaweeds
… is a positive outcome for promoting overall gut health and in combating obesity through enhancing satiety. Two similarly processed extracts from the seaweed Laminaria digitata were prepared to study the effect of depolymerisation with hydrogen peroxide on prebiotic potential. Depolymerisation …

Isoquinoline alkaloids in diets for young growing pigs improve nutrient digestibility and gut health
… fed to young growing pigs on growth performance, gut health, energy and nutrient digestibility, and digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) concentrations in the diets. In the first experiment, 32 ileal cannulated barrows (12.19 ± 1.38 kg) were allotted to 4 diets with 8 replicate …

Gut Health Benefits of Natural and Alkali-Processed Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) with and without Inulin
… may be a potential dietary strategy to mitigate gut-related conditions and been shown to elicit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and prebiotic effects. Alkali treatment of cocoa was once thought to reduce its bioactivity, but new evidence suggests it may enhance cocoa's health properties, through …

Coated butyric acid and C12 monoglyceride supplementation of broiler feed to improve performance and gut health
… (Zinc Bacitracin 15%) on the performance and gut health of broiler chickens. The study was conducted in an environmentally controlled commercial broiler house. The house contained ninety-six pens in total, divided into two rows consisting of forty-eight pens each over the length of the house. …

Dietary supplementation of a fiber-prebiotic-gut health promoter blend in extruded diets fed to dogs
… family. Thus, the importance of longevity and health of companion animals has been a constant concern for pet parents, and diet plays an important role in that. The use of prebiotics and dietary fibers have gained renewed interest in the pet food industry as a strategy to modulate gut health. …

The neurodevelopmental impact of stress and inflammation during pregnancy: influence of the maternal microbiome and gut health
… optimal neurodevelopment of the fetus. The health of the developing fetus is also determined by the maternal microbiome, which has been previously shown to shape and modulate long-term offspring outcomes. The unique bidirectional relationship between the maternal microbiome and immune system …

Implications of Dietary Fiber and Fermentable Carbohydrates on Gut Health and Intestinal Microbial Ecology of the Dog
… and individual fermentable carbohydrates on gut health and gut microbial composition of dogs. Three experiments were conducted to (1) evaluate how supplemental mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) affect the dog gut and specific gut microbiota; (2) to evaluate if oligosaccharides like MOS and …

The combined effects of purified fiber and dietary threonine on chick growth, and gut health, when infected with coccidiosis
… threonine (Thr) on chick growth and intestinal health. The objectives of the first two experiments were to define the individual effect of purified fiber on nutrient digestibility, dietary Thr requirements, and intestinal structure of young chicks. Additionally, a third experiment was conducted …

Indices of gut health and intestinal microbial ecology of the cat as affected by ingestion of select carbohydrates varying in fermentative capacity
… fermentable carbohydrates on gastrointestinal health outcomes and microbial ecology of domestic cats. Four studies were designed to address two major research objectives: 1) to determine nutrient digestibility and fecal fermentative end-product outcome variables as affected by inclusion of …

THE INTERACTION OF ACID-PRESERVATION OF WHEAT OR BARLEY, WITH OR WITHOUT ENZYMES, AND PARTICLE SIZE ON WEANLING PIG PERFORMANCE AND GUT HEALTH
… Coarse) on weanling pig (21 d) performance and gut health. Average daily gain (ADG), daily feed intake (ADFI), and feed efficiency (G:F) of pigs fed diets with acid preserved wheat (APW) were comparable (P > 0.10) to pigs fed acidified diets (AD). Acidification, enzyme supplementation or fine …

Select novel carbohydrates affect glycemic and insulinemic response, energy value, and indices of gut health as measured using canine, avian, rodent, and in vitro model systems
… - for properties that could positively impact health outcomes. Study 1 measured in vitro hydrolytic digestion characteristics, glycemic and insulinemic responses, and true metabolizable energy (TMEn) content of select SFDs and Pulls. Soluble fiber dextrins varied in digestibility, with all …

Evaluation and Selection of a Bacillus based Direct-Fed Microbial Candidate for In situ Enzyme Production to Improve Gut Health Integrity, Bone Quality and Growth Performance in Poultry
… and intestinal integrity, as well as, maintain a healthy microflora balance in poultry consuming commercial and alternative diets. Due to Bacillus endospores are in a dormant state when delivered into the feed, it was crucial to evaluate the spores’ germination rate, distribution and persistence …

The Effects Of Microencapsulated Vitamin And Trace Mineral Premixes And Red Osier Dogwood Extract On Growth Performance, Immune Response, And Gut Health Of Broiler Chickens In A Coccidiosis Vaccine Challenge Model
… need for nutritional strategies to support gut health and immunity of broiler chickens. This thesis investigated the effects of two distinct dietary feed additives on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, immune response, and meat yield during a coccidiosis vaccine challenge using a …

Fibre fermentation in the pig intestine : effect on metabolite production and nitrogen excretion
… fibre (DF) in pig diets can help to improve gut health. Fermentation of DF, especially the soluble fraction, in pig intestines yields short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and lactic acid, which have been found to improve gut health by favouring the growth of health-promoting bacteria such as …

Calf intestinal health: assessment and dietary interventions for its improvement
… Part of the problem is that methods to assess gut health in pre-weaning dairy calves at the farm level are not well defined. Aside from sound facility hygiene protocols, there is a lack of effective preventive gut health schemes and mostly ex-post therapeutic schemes are available. Development …
