…become evident that the requirements of some amino acids may differ when based on development of the gastrointestinal tract and during times of immune stimulation, such as during disease challenge….
…under disease or environmental stress, health may improve through modulation of immunity. Presently it is unknown if a parallel effect will be realized in nursery pigs. Therefore, the experimental objective…
…the reduction in voluntary feed intake is strongly correlated with the risk of disease during that period. Therefore, our objective was to test the effect of different dietary interventions on…
…carbohydrate structures and are nutritional tools that may enhance gut health in pigs. Dietary carbohydrates may have a role to alleviate diarrheal diseases including in pigs post-weaning but also reduce…
…serum amyloid A, and neutrophil:lymphocyte. Two study periods were identified representing greater (P1; weeks 1-3) and reduced (P2; weeks 4-8) enteric disease susceptibility. Data were analyzed using PROC GLIMMIX in…
Avian coccidiosis is an infectious parasitic disease that triggers severe intestinal inflammation, leading to nutrient malabsorption, bleeding, and even death. Here we evaluated the response of coccidia-challenged birds to dietary…
…amounts of isoflavones, saponins, and phenolic antioxidants that can modulate immune responses and improve growth of pigs exposed to viral disease challenges (see review by Smith and Dilger, 2018. J….
…been demonstrated to modulate immune responses and improve growth performance of pigs exposed to viral disease challenges (see review by Smith and Dilger, 2018. J. Anim. Sci. 96:1288-1304). With the…
Nursery pigs are frequently faced with disease challenges and producers are seeking nutritional strategies to help pig performance and health. Therefore, our objective was to evaluate five dietary formulation strategies…
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an economically-important disease and ingestion of soy isoflavones (ISF) may benefit PRRSV-infected pigs due to demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties. The objective…
