Dietary inulin affects the intestinal microbiota in sows and their suckling piglets
BACKGROUND Several studies have focused on the effects of dietary inulin on the intestinal microbiota of weaned piglets. In the present study, inulin was added to a diet for gestating and lactating sows, expecting not only effects on the faecal microbiota of sows, but also on the bacterial cell numbers in the gastrointestinal tract of their piglets during the suckling period. Sows were fed a di...
متن کاملEffect of infrared temperature on thermoregulatory behaviour in suckling piglets.
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of infrared (IR) temperature on thermoregulatory behaviour in suckling piglets in the first 3 weeks after farrowing. A total of 10 piglets from each of the 16 litters were exposed to recommended IR temperature conditions at 1, 2 and 3 weeks of age, with a mild offset (4°C) in IR temperature during the first experiment and a more challeng...
متن کاملDietary Chitosan Affects Metabolism of Arachidonic Acid in Weaned Piglets
Li J.-L., Xu Y.-Q., Shi B.-L., Sun D.-S., Yan S.-M., Guo X.-Y. (2017): Dietary chitosan affects metabolism of arachidonic acid in weaned piglets. Czech J. Anim. Sci., 62, 58–66. The effects of chitosan on immune function via arachidonic acid (AA) pathway in weaned piglets were investigated. A total of 180 piglets (Duroc × Yorkshire × Landrace) were randomly assigned to 5 dietary treatments and ...
متن کاملDietary selection for lysine by piglets at differing feeding regimen
Article history: Received 14 August 2007 Revised 10 September 2008 Accepted 10 September 2008 The aim of the present study was to investigate preferences of piglets for diets varying in lysine (Lys) concentration andwhether those preferences are influenced by changing position of diets on offer in feeders. For this purpose, a feeding trial was carried out over a period of 5 weeks. Piglets (equa...
متن کاملDiet affects female mating behaviour in a seed-feeding beetle
In species where males provide nuptial gifts, females can improve their nutritional status and thus increase their fecundity by mating when in need of resources. However, mating can be costly, so females should only mate to acquire resources when the need for resources is large, such as when females are nutritionally-deprived. Two populations of the seed-feeding beetle Callosobruchus maculatus,...
