TLDR
YP supplementation in the diets of weaned piglets appears to increase the incidence of diarrhea and has adverse effects on intestinal morphology and barrier function.Abstract:
The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of a mixture of yeast culture, cell wall hydrolysates, and yeast extracts (collectively "yeast products," YP) on the performance, intestinal physiology, and health of weaned piglets. A total of 90 piglets weaned at 21 d of age were blocked by body weight, sex, and litter and randomly assigned to one of three treatments for a 14-d feeding experiment, including (1) a basal diet (control), (2) 1.2 g/kg of YP, and (3) 20 mg/kg of colistin sulfate (CSE). No statistically significant differences were observed in average daily feed intake, average daily weight gain, or gain-to-feed ratio among CSE, YP, and control piglets. Increased prevalence of diarrhea was observed among piglets fed the YP diet, whereas diarrhea was less prevalent among those fed CSE. Duodenal and jejunal villus height and duodenal crypt depth were greater in the control group than they were in the YP or CSE groups. Intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) in the duodenal and jejunal villi were enhanced by YP, whereas IEL in the ileal villi were reduced in weaned piglets fed YP. Secretion of jejunal and ileal interleukin-10 (IL-10) was higher and intestinal and serum antioxidant indexes were affected by YP and CSE. In YP- and CSE-supplemented animals, serum D-lactate concentration and diamine oxidase (DAO) activity were both increased, and intestinal mRNA expressions of occludin and ZO-1 were reduced as compared to the control animals. In conclusion, YP supplementation in the diets of weaned piglets appears to increase the incidence of diarrhea and has adverse effects on intestinal morphology and barrier function.read more

Effect of deoxynivalenol on apoptosis, barrier function, and expression levels of genes involved in nutrient transport, mitochondrial biogenesis and function in IPEC-J2 cells
TL;DR: It is indicated that 200 and 2000 ng mL-1 DON could affect proliferation and cell cycle progression from the G2/M phase to the S phase and could mediate the expression levels of differently regulated barrier function, nutrient transport, and mitochondrial biogenesis and function-related genes.

TL;DR: MiSeq sequencing analysis showed that bacteriophage regulated the microbial composition in caecum digesta, as indicated by higher observed_species, Chao1, and ACE richness indices, as well as changes in the relative abundance of Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Tenericutes.

TL;DR: It is shown that there is a dose-dependent response to dietary SAA on feed efficiency and intestinal parameters of weanling pigs, and that this supplementation can improve intestinal functions of weaning piglets.

TL;DR: It is indicated that SIL was significantly positively associated with growth performance, and in terms of intestinal morphology and mucosal digestive enzyme activity, the piglets with a medium length of small intestine have better digestion and absorption properties.

TL;DR: The study suggests that a dosage between 500mg/kg to 1000 mg/kg of microencapsulated TA is safe to be included in the swine diet, and that 1000mg/ kg of micro EncapsulatedTA has beneficial effects on intestinal morphology, intestinal nutrient transporter and intestinal microbiota in weaning piglets.

Cytokines and major depression.
TL;DR: Although the central effects of proinflammatory cytokines appear to be able to account for most of the symptoms occurring in depression, it remains to be established whether cytokines play a causal role in depressive illness or represent epiphenomena without major significance.

Epidemiology of resistance to antibiotics links between animals and humans.
TL;DR: Since the EU ban of avoparcin, a significant decrease has been observed in several European countries in the prevalence of vancomycin resistant enterococci in meat (products), in faecal samples of food animals and healthy humans, which underlines the role of antimicrobial usage in food animals in the selection of bacterial resistance and the transport of these resistances via the food chain to humans.

Weaning Is Associated with an Upregulation of Expression of Inflammatory Cytokines in the Intestine of Piglets
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that weaning in piglets is associated with an early and transient response in gene expression of inflammatory cytokines in the gut, and cytokine response in the Gut could be divided into two periods.

TL;DR: Test the hypothesis that weaning or glutamine may modulate expression of genes that are crucial for intestinal metabolism and function and reveal coordinate alterations of gene expression in response to weaning, providing molecular mechanisms for the beneficial effect of dietary glutamine supplementation to improve nutrition status in young mammals.
