Dietary Addition of Antioxidant Complex Packs and Functional Amino Acids Can Improve the Digestion, Absorption, and Immunity of Huanjiang Minipigs

Abstract

To study the effect of functional amino acids and the antioxidant function compound package on Huanjiang minipigs and to lay a foundation for the formulation of green and efficient feed for Huanjiang minipigs, we added functional amino acids and the antioxidant function compound package to piglet feed for 28 days. After feeding, we detected the growth performance, biochemical indexes, inflammatory indexes, and intestinal disaccharidase of piglets. It was found that functional amino acids and the antioxidant compound package had certain effects on the growth performance and biochemical indexes of piglets and could reduce the level of IL-6 and increase the level of LZM and SIgA of piglets, and the levels of lactase and maltase in the intestine also increased significantly. The results showed that the compound package of functional amino acids and antioxidation could improve the growth performance and immunity of piglets and promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients in piglets.

Effect of carnosine synthesis precursors in the diet on jejunal metabolomic profiling and biochemical compounds in slow-growing Korat chicken

“…Consistent with previous studies by Abbasi et al (2014) , Cui et al, 2020 , and Qiu et al (2022) , we have shown that carnosine precursor supplementation in the diet may affect the biochemical compounds in the jejunum.…”

Pectin supplementation ameliorates intestinal epithelial barrier function damage by modulating intestinal microbiota in lipopolysaccharide-challenged piglets

“…Thus, maintaining the integrity and functions of intestinal barrier is essential for human and animal health [13] . The weaning stress of piglets can cause immune system destruction, intestinal microbiome dysbiosis, and intestinal barrier dysfunction, then leading to intestinal injury and poor health, thus reducing the growth performance, diarrhea occurrence, and even death [2,3,[33][34][35][36] . LPS is a component of the outer cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria.…”
