COMPOSITIONS FOR INCREASING RESILIENCE TOWARDS BACTERIAL INFECTIONS
Abstract:
The present invention provides evidence that administration of a probiotic product to newborn piglets and during suckling makes the piglets more resilient towards an ETEC challenge post-weaning and after cessation of the probiotic administration. The pigs administered with probiotics pre-weaning were faster at overcoming the ETEC infection by which ETEC counts in feces were significantly faster reduced compared with non-probiotic supplemented pigs. Keywords: Pig, ETEC F18, Probiotic, post-weaning diarrhea, microbiome, immunity
