“…Sows are believed to be facing a metabolic syndrome during the late gestation and early lactation because of vigorous metabolism and fading antioxidant capacity, wherein the imbalance of intestinal microbiota plays an important role ( Cheng et al., 2018a ). As promotion factors of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, functional SDF may improve the metabolic syndrome in the way of “microbiota remodeling”, thereby alleviating inflammation and oxidative stress in sows, which effectively increased the ADFI of sows during lactation ( Tan et al., 2016 ; Zhou et al., 2017 ; Li et al., 2020a ; Xu et al., 2020 ).…”

Dietary fiber (DF), divided into soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF), has attracted increasing attention in the field of pig nutrition. Although DF reduces nutrient digestibility and inhibits energy deposition in most cases, fiber-rich feeds have been widely used in pig diets. This is not only because of lower feed costs, but also from the continuous discovery about the nutritional value of DF, mainly including the improvement of piglet intestinal health and sow reproductive performance. The addition timing has also been further considered, which potentially enables the nutritional value of DF to be accurately used in applicable pig models. Furthermore, fiber degrading enzymes have been shown to alleviate the anti-nutritional effects of DF and have ensured the improvement effect of fiber on intestinal health in young piglet models. However, the regulatory effect of fiber on pork quality is still unclear, which requires consideration of the wide range of fiber sources and the complexity of the basic diet composition, as well as the impact of pig breeds. Taken together, future research needs to gain more insight into the combined effects of SDF and IDF, processing methods, and addition timing to improve the nutritional value of DF, and further explore the physiological functions and regulatory mechanisms of DF fermentation products short-chain fatty acids in pigs.

“…Studies carried out by (Awad et al, 2013;Chen et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2020) revealed that inulin-containing prebiotic added to the feed increased the count of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains in the gastrointestinal tract, and improved the absorption of glucose in the blood of weaned piglets. Similar effects were noted for piglets when the pregnant and lactating sows received inulin (Paßlack et al, 2015;McCormack et al, 2019;Li et al, 2020). Many studies Castillo et al, 2008;Agazzi et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2020) focused on the effect of mannooligosaccharides (MOS) as an additive to feed for piglets at weaning age.…”

The paper provides an overview of the knowledge of the options of the use of selected feed additives in the feeding of sows and young pigs. Feed enzymes, organic acids, probiotics, prebiotics and phytobiotics are the most commonly used feed additives for these technology groups. Nowadays, in pig breeding and farming, it is not possible to achieve high production performance in the herd without the use of specialised feed additives. They are added to the feed ration always in small quantities, and the effects of their use are often clearly noticeable. They improve the flavour and digestibility of the feed, and thereby have a favourable effect on feed intake, piglets weight gain and sows milk yield, boost pig immunity and displace pathogens from the gastrointestinal system, stimulating the growth and development of the beneficial bacterial microflora. Fed to lactating sows, they have a positive effect not only on the sows, but above all on the growth and development of their litters. This allows maximising the weaning weight of piglets and improving their health and weight gain at further fattening stages. All this contributes to improved production performance and should encourage breeders to enrich pig feed with appropriate specialised feed additives.

“…Recent studies demonstrate the importance of dietary microbial modulation. Dietary supplementation of hydrolysed yeast [65], resin acid enriched composition [69], probiotics [70] and prebiotics [71,72] in sow's late gestation diet, significantly changes microbial populations. Different levels and types of protein and fiber in the diet are also modulating the gut microbial population both in gestating sows and in weaning piglets.…”

Over the past three decades, efficient breeding and management have almost doubled the litter size of sows. Simultaneously, duration of farrowing has increased markedly. The expulsion phase of parturition in the hyper prolific sow is now 3 to 5 times longer than it was in the early 1990s. There has also been a constant downward trend in piglet birth weight, along with a similar trend in colostrum intake, which is an important risk factor for piglet mortality. Together with these trends, an increase in farrowing complications, such as postpartum dysgalactia and retention of placenta, has been reported. This paper investigates group housing of sows during gestation, farrowing and lactation, focusing on management strategies of the sow. In short, the sow needs to be given space and enrichment materials for adequate expression of nest-building behavior. Maternal characteristics may be utilized to improve the success rate of reproductive management during farrowing and early lactation. The lower piglet birth weight and compromised immunity of newborn piglets warrant investigation in the search for novel management tools. Robust breeds with somewhat lower litter size, but improved resilience and increased birth weight may be needed in the near future.
