Chronic Toxicity of Fumonisin in Weanling Pigs

Nonruminant Nutrition: Weanling Pigs - Additives

To evaluate the developmental regulation of nutrient transporter gene expression in the small intestine, piglets from each of seven sows were killed at birth (d 0), during lactation (d 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21) and post-weaning (d 22, 24, 28, and 35; weaned at d 21). Intestinal segments (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum) were collected for RNA isolation. The abundance of mRNA was determined by Northern ...

NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND TOXICITY INFORMATION FUMONISIN CAS Number 116355-83-0 Fumonisin B1 Fumonisin B2 Fumonisin B3 Fumonisin B4 Fumonisin A1 Fumonisin

Activated carbon does not prevent the toxicity of culture material containing fumonisin B1 when fed to weanling piglets.

Fumonisins are mycotoxins found primarily in corn and corn products that are produced by Fusarium verticillioides, F. proliferatum, and several other Fusarium species. The toxicity of fumonisin B1 (FB) from culture material with and without activated carbon was evaluated using weanling piglets. Fifty-six weanling pigs were assigned to one of four treatments diets based on BW. The treatment diet...

Performance of Weanling Pigs Fed Increasing Levels

Experiments were conducted to estimate the threonine requirement of pigs weighing 5 to 15 kg and to determine whether excess methionine increased the threonine requirement. Feeding .70% dietary threonine in Exp. 1 maximized (P<.01) gain/feed and minimized (P<:01) plasma urea N. Plasma threonine was increased (P<.01) by threonine supplementat ion and the rate of increase accelerated above .65% d...

Dietary l-Arginine Supplementation Protects Weanling Pigs from Deoxynivalenol-Induced Toxicity

This study was conducted to determine the positive effects of dietary supplementation with L-arginine (Arg) on piglets fed a deoxynivalenol (DON)-contaminated diet. A total of eighteen, 28-day-old healthy weanling pigs were randomly assigned into one of three groups: uncontaminated basal diet (control group), 6 mg/kg DON-contaminated diet (DON group) and 6 mg/kg DON + 1% L-arginine (DON + ARG g...
