Impact of virginiamycin on the development of intestinal structure and functional capacity in growing pigs
… that diets with virginiamycin would increase intestinal surface area and nutrient processing capacity compared with diets without virginiamycin. Littermate barrows with similar body weight (n=72; 23.0±1.3 kg; 9 weeks of age) were randomized to pens and pens were randomized to one of three …

Lactoferrin in neonatal development: effects on intestinal structure and intestinal function and immune response in a piglet model of systemic Staphylococcus aureus infection
… human milk also impacts the development of the intestinal microbiota in infants, which has implications for immunological programming (Kainonen et al 2013; Jacobi and Odle, 2012). Lactoferrin (Lf), a bioactive protein found in high concentrations in human milk, when fed orally, has …

Effects of Dietary Fiber on Neonatal Intestinal Development and Resistance to Salmonella Typhimurium Infection in Piglets
… symptoms in piglets, maintained intestinal structure and function, enhanced innate and adapted immune response, and its addition to formula, could provide a cost-effective means to prevent and/or reduce bacterially-induced diarrheal diseases in neonates.

The Influence of Necrotic Enteritis, Environmental Factors, and Genetics on Intestinal Development Pathways and Disease Occurrence in Broiler Chickens
… in feed has allowed for reemergence of intestinal diseases that diminish animal welfare and producer economics. Alternative mechanisms to preventing disease are therefore required. The objective of this dissertation was to examine factors that contribute to chicken development and health …

Butyrate-Induced Expression of Proglucagon: Implications for Enteroendocrine Signaling and Intestinal Growth
While the gastrointestinal tract is primarily recognized for its digestive and absorptive capacity, it is also the largest endocrine organ in the body. There are a number of different types of endocrine cells in the gut which have the ability to mediate nutrient-gene interactions. Of interest for …

Route of Nutrient Administration Alters Intestinal Immune Cell Composition in Neonatal Piglets
… requirements and developmentally immature gastrointestinal function and are supported totally or partially on parenteral nutrition for several days to weeks postpartum. The use of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is frequently associated with a myriad of complications, primarily due to the lack …

Butyrate-induced expression of proglucagon: implications for enteroendocrine signaling and intestinal growth
While the gastrointestinal tract is primarily recognized for its digestive and absorptive capacity, it is also the largest endocrine organ in the body. There are a number of different types of endocrine cells in the gut which have the ability to mediate nutrient-gene interactions. Of interest for …

The combined effects of purified fiber and dietary threonine on chick growth, and gut health, when infected with coccidiosis
… and dietary 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 …

The effect of high-fiber diets on nutrient utilization and intestinal morphology of growing pigs
… effects of dietary fiber on mineral balance and intestinal.morphology of growing pigs. Fiber sources were added to corn-soybean meal diets at levels which increased neutral-detergent fiber levels by 6 to 8%. In experiment 1, 10% oat hulls (OH) decreased Ca (P<.06) and Zn (P<.01) balances of pigs …

Ecological consequences of non-native parasites for native UK fishes.
… (individuals to populations), and on food web structure. The three non-native parasite: host systems were Ergasilus briani and roach Rutilus rutilus and common bream Abramis brama, Bothriocephalus acheilognathi and common carp Cyprinus carpio, and Anguillicoides crassus and the European eel …

Early nutrition affects intestinal development and immune response in the neonatal piglet
… oligosaccharides (HMO). This complex group of structures has many beneficial effects for the infant including promoting the growth of Bifidobacteria, acting as anti-adhesive and anti-microbial factors against pathogens, modulating immune development, and perhaps even providing nutrients for …
