Factors influencing the structure and function of the small intestine in the weaned pig: a review

TL;DR: The major factors implicated in the aetiology of marked changes to the histology and biochemistry of the small intestine, such as villous atrophy and crypt hyperplasia, which cause decreased digestive and absorptive capacity and contribute to post-weaning diarrhoea are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of interactions between dietary fibre and the intestinal mucosa, and their consequences on digestive health in young non-ruminant animals

TL;DR: Evidence that some components of dietary fibre may improve gut health, or alternatively enhance gut perturbation and subsequent diarrhoea in young animals (including piglets, chickens and children) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gastrointestinal health and function in weaned pigs: a review of feeding strategies to control post‐weaning diarrhoea without using in‐feed antimicrobial compounds

TL;DR: Some of nutritional strategies known to improve structure and function of gastrointestinal tract and (or) promote post-weaning growth with special emphasis on probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, trace minerals and dietary protein source and level are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alterations in piglet small intestinal structure at weaning

TL;DR: The reduction in small intestinal absorptive area and the appearance of a less mature enterocyte population help to explain the increased susceptibility of the pig to diarrhoea and growth checks in the post-weaning period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serpulina pilosicoli sp. nov., the Agent of Porcine Intestinal Spirochetosis

TL;DR: DNA-DNA relative reassociation experiments in which the S1 nuclease method was used revealed that intestinal spirochete strain P43/6/78T was related to, but was genetically distinct from, both S. hyodysenteriae B78T and S. innocens B256T, and it is proposed that strain P 43/ 6/78 should be designated as the type strain of a new species, Serpulina pilosicoli.
