Calf intestinal health: assessment and dietary interventions for its improvement
… 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 of …

The role of Dietary Interventions in Broiler Intestinal Health and Immunity
… of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The gastrointestinal mucus layer serves as an essential innate barrier to pathogenic adhesion and subsequent infection. Dysregulation in the integrity or function of the mucosal layer has been implicated in malabsorption, leading to reduced animal …

Effects of yeast products on immune response and intestinal health of dogs and mice
… demand for functional ingredients that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition has continued to increase in the pet food industry. Yeast products may serve as functional ingredients due to their potential health benefits as shown in livestock and rodents. Previous studies in dogs …

Reducing crude protein levels in diets fed to young pigs to optimize growth performance and intestinal health
… will reduce PWD and improve indicators of intestinal function, such as impacting gastrointestinal pH, improving intestinal morphology, and influencing the expression of inflammatory and gut-protective genes, while having no negative effect on pig growth performance. One hundred-eighty …

Effect of chia (Salvia hispanica l.) on the bioavailability of minerals, lipid profile, inflammation, oxidative stress, and intestinal health
… from chia on the morphology and functionality intestinal, on intestinal microbiota and on iron and zinc status are not known. In this sense, the objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of chia (Salvia hispanica L.) flour consumption on the bioavailability of calcium, iron and zinc, …

Effects of distillers dried grains with solubles and dietary fiber on the intestinal health of young pigs and chicks
… grains with solubles (DDGS) on the promotion of intestinal health in young pigs and chicks. Furthermore, purified sources of DF were used in pigs to elucidate whether the soluble or insoluble fraction of DF, or its absence from the diet, is beneficial in the prevention and recovery from …

The Effect of Dietary Phytic Acid Concentration and Phytase Supplementation on Performance, Bone Ash, and Intestinal Health of Broilers Vaccinated With a Live Coccidial Oocyst Vaccine
… in providing optimal broiler growth and intestinal health is essential, especially during stress or disease challenge. Feed enzymes are useful for improving performance of poultry, particularly when nutrition, management, or health status is not favorable. The objective of the following …

Influences of milk intake and dietary inclusion of a bioactive extract from the olive (Olea europaea) on glucagon-like peptide-2 and its effects on growth and intestinal health of dairy calves
Promotion of intestinal health in preruminant dairy calves is essential for growth and overall health. Yet, a large proportion of dairy calves in the United States is affected by enteric challenges in the preweaning period. Maintenance of intestinal integrity is associated with an intestinal …

The Soy Isoflavone, Genistein, as a Modulator of Intestinal Development
… present in soy infant formulas inhibited intestinal cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo, which may have implications for the intestinal health of infants and requires further investigation.

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 …

Microencapsulation of tributyrin to improve sensory qualities and intestinal delivery
… odor attributes. Its use in the maintenance of intestinal health and treatment of intestinal disorders shows promise. However, due to the negative sensory qualities and necessity to target the intestinal epithelium, TB has yet to be widely utilized in a food system for treatment. The overall …

Effects of Commercial Feed Additives on Growth Performance and Gut Microbiota of Nursery Pigs
… to increase nutrition digestibility, enhance intestinal health, and prevent or mitigate disease, with the ultimate goal of improving growth performance. This thesis performed a longitudinal analysis using next-generation sequencing to investigate the dynamic changes of gut microbiota in weaned …

Investigation of Microbiota in Health and Disease of Poultry
<p>The microbiotas play vital roles in health and diseases of both humans and animals. 16S rRNA genes sequence analysis is one of the most popular and commonly used methods in the analysis of microbiotas associated with hosts. In this dissertation, the microbiotas of chickens (broilers, breeders, …

Investigating the potential utilisation of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) as an alternative protein source in tilapia and carp feed
… in a dose-dependent manner, increased posterior intestinal fold length, muscularis thickness, and goblet cell density, while intraepithelial lymphocytes abundance and enterocyte microvilli length were elevated only at 40% BSF meal. Posterior intestinal endochitinase A, slc6a18, and cytokines …

Evaluating the efficacy of brewers’ yeast-derived functional feed additives in mitigating soybean meal-induced enteritis in Atlantic salmon
… plant-based ingredients without compromising intestinal health. In Atlantic salmon aquaculture, one of the main constraints to plant protein inclusion is soybean meal-induced enteritis (SBMIE), a diet-related inflammatory condition that impairs mucosal function. Meanwhile, the use of …

EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PROVISION OF FUNCTIONAL AMINO ACIDS TO ENHANCE ROBUSTNESS IN ENTERIC CHALLENGED PIGS
… effects of FAA were associated with improved intestinal health and antioxidant defense, despite a lack of effect on ST presence in lymphoid tissues. In a subsequent ST-challenge study, a longer adaptation period (i.e., 2 weeks) to the same FAA-supplemented diets further enhanced gut health and …

FUNCTIONAL FEED ADDITIVES FOR ANIMAL HEALTH
… multifactorial diseases, particularly from gastrointestinal origin, that causes important economic losses and antibiotic use. Nutrition is no longer considered as science that only satisfies nutritional requirements but is considered fundamental for its functionality through the supplementation of …
