The aim of this study was to investigate the effects terpinen-4-ol (TER) supplementation on intestinal barrier function pigs. Five groups fifty 28-day-old piglets with comparable body weights were randomly assigned following groups: control group (CON), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), low TER (PLT), middle (PMT), and high (PHT). basal diet given CON LPS groups, 30, 60, or 90 mg/kg added for groups. After 21-day trial period, in received an intraperitoneal injection 100 μg/kg weight LPS, whereas 0.9% normal saline solution. results showed that stimulation resulted a decrease (p < 0.05) depth colonic crypts piglets, which greater group.

Glucose oxidase (GOD) has been investigated as a potential additive for enhancing intestinal health and growth performance in poultry. However, limited research exists on the effects of ultra-high doses GOD practical poultry production. This study aimed to investigate impact high dietary levels broiler performance, antioxidant capacity, microbiota. A total 400 healthy, 1-day-old, slow-growing chickens were randomly assigned four treatment groups. The control group was fed standard basal diet, while other groups (G1, G2, G3) diet supplemented with 4 U/g, 20 100 U/g VTR GOD, respectively. results showed that dose significantly improved final body weight average daily feed intake (ADFI) ( p &lt; 0.05). Additionally, G3 exhibited marked increase glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity 0.05), reflecting enhanced function. Gut morphology remained intact across all groups, indicating no adverse barrier integrity. Microbiota analysis revealed significant increases 0.05) Firmicutes Verrucomicrobiota abundance at phylum level GOD-supplemented Moreover, treatments increased Faecalibacterium , Mucispirllum CHKCI001 genus level. Metabolic function predictions suggested high-dose supplementation enriched carbohydrate metabolism, particularly starch sucrose metabolism. Correlation indicated CHCKI001 two bacteria strongly influenced by associated gut health. In conclusion, had demonstrated benefits, promoting both broilers.

Various problems and obstacles are encountered during pig farming, especially the weaning phase when switching from liquid to solid feed. Infection by pathogenic bacteria causes damage intestinal barrier function of piglets, disrupts balance microbiota, destroys chemical, mechanical, immune barriers tract, which is one main gut inflammation or diseases in piglets. The traditional method add antibiotics piglet diets prevent bacterial infections. However, long-term overuse leads resistance residues animal products, threatening human health causing microbiota dysbiosis. In this context, finding alternatives maintain pre- post-weaning piglets infections becomes a real emergency. utilization probiotics nutrition has emerged as pivotal strategy promote defend against infections, offering sustainable alternative antibiotic usage. This review introduces recent findings that underscore multifaceted roles enhancing welfare, fortifying mitigating impacts common pathogens. Meanwhile, study functions different perspectives: positive effects on health, protecting pathogen infection, mechanisms preventing bacteria.
