Journal ArticleDOI
Incorporation of galactomannans in the diet of newly weaned piglets: effect on bacteriological and some morphological characteristics of the small intestine.
TL;DR: The effects of the addition of 1% of pure guar gum or locust bean gum or 10% of carob tree seeds meal in the diet resulted in influences on intestinal characteristics at the bacteriological and morphological level, which were inconsistent and not very outspoken.
Journal Article
Effect of medium chain fatty acids and benzoic acid, as alternatives for antibiotics, on growth and some gut parameters in piglets.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro fermentability and physicochemical properties of fibre substrates and their effect on bacteriological and morphological characteristics of the gastrointestinal tract of newly weaned piglets.
TL;DR: The fermentability of fibre was not an ideal criterion for predicting its effects on the flora and the effect of fibres on viscosity of digesta was negligible probably explaining the lack of clear and consistent influences on the intestinal mucosa.
