Effects of Diet and Probiotic Supplementation on Stress during Weaning in Thoroughbred Foals
This study investigated effects of diet and probiotic supplement on stress in Thoroughbred foals at weaning. Twenty foals, whose dams were paired by age and breeding date, then randomly assigned to one of two diets prior to parturition, were used. Two groups were maintained on mixed grass pastures …

Prebiotics and Probiotics: Impact on Gut Microbial Populations, Nutrient Digestibilities, Fecal Protein Catabolite Concentrations, and Immune Function of Humans and Dogs
… experiments demonstrated that prebiotic and (or) probiotic supplementation seems to improve indices associated with gut health of humans and dogs. However, caution should be taken, as LAC supplementation did result in some negative effects (e.g., increased fecal putrefactive compounds). Prebiotic …

Development of a Pediatric Model of Nafld in Neonatal Iberian Pigs
… addition, we sought to determine if a mixture of probiotics would prevent the disease. Animals were fed 1 of 4 diets containing (g/kg body weight × d) 0 g fructose, 11 g fat and 199 kcal (CON-N; n=8), 22 g fructose, 16 g fat and 300 kcal (HFF2-N; n=8), CON + probiotic (CON-P; n=6), or HFF2 + …
