“…Intestinal weight can be affected by dietary fiber. Short-term studies using piglets revealed a higher relative weight of the large intestine in piglets fed a diet containing beet pulp [ 14 , 15 ]. Similar results were observed in growing pigs fed a diet containing 23% beet pulp (8.1% CF).…”

“…Moreover, beet pulp can regulate the composition and quantity of intestinal microbiota. Previous studies demonstrated a lower number of Enterococcus in the feces of piglets fed a diet containing beet pulp [ 14 , 15 ]. Similarly, a diet containing 23% beet pulp significantly increased the numbers of Lactobacillus spp.…”

“…Short-term studies using piglets revealed that piglets fed a diet containing beet pulp or wheat bran had a higher weight of the large intestine and fewer Enterococcus spp. in the feces [ 14 , 15 ]. The findings of these studies suggest that beet pulp has a positive effect on intestine microbiota composition.…”

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary fiber on the gut health of growing pigs. In total, 30 growing pigs with an initial average body weight of 45.8 ± 2.78 kg were divided into three groups with 10 replicates per treatment, and one pig per replicate. The treatments included a corn–soybean meal-based diet (control group, 1.5% crude fiber (CF)), corn–soybean meal + beet pulp-based diet (beet pulp group, 5.74% CF) and corn–soybean meal-based diet (feed intake-pairing group (pairing group); the feed intake was equal to the beet pulp group, 1.5% CF). The whole trial lasted 28 days. The beet pulp group had a longer length of the large intestine, higher weight of the small intestine and whole intestine, greater density of the large intestine and whole intestine, and higher villus height in the jejunum and ileum than the control group (p < 0.05). The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF), glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2), and glucagon-like peptide 2 receptor (GLP-2R) in the duodenum, EGF and GLP-2 in the jejunum, EGF in the ileum, and GLP-2 in the colon were higher in the beet pulp group than in the control group (p < 0.05). Moreover, the apparent total tract digestibility of crude ash, energy, dry matter (DM), and crude protein (CP) was lower in the beet pulp group than in the control group (p < 0.05), while the apparent total tract digestibility of CF, the activity of jejunal lactase, and the mRNA abundance of duodenal GLP-2 were higher in the beet pulp group than in the control and pairing groups (p < 0.05). In addition, the beet pulp group had more goblet cells in the colon, more Bifidobacterium spp. in the cecal digesta, higher concentrations of acetic acid and butyric acid in the cecal digesta, and higher mRNA abundance of duodenal regeneration protein Ⅲγ (REG-Ⅲγ), jejunal mucin 2 (MUC-2), and ileal G protein-coupled receptor 43 (GPR-43) than the control group (p < 0.05). However, these parameters did not differ between the control and pairing groups (p > 0.05). These findings indicate feeding a high-fiber diet (5.74% CF, obtained from beet pulp) to pigs could modulate the gut microbiota composition, increase the short-chain fatty-acid (SCFA) content in the hindgut, and improve gut health, which is independent of the feed intake.

“…Arabinoxylans have a lower rate of degradation than β-glucans of oats. Hermes et al (2010) compared diets based on rice or barley with or without extra fibre as wheat bran or sugarbeet pulp. Feed intake and intestinal protein fermentation were higher for rice diets, whereas extra fibre increased Enterococci counts.…”

“…Os resultados obtidos neste estudo foram similares aos reportados porHermes et al (2010), que ao utilizarem dois tipos de cereais (arroz vs. cevada) associado a 2 níveis de fibra (baixo vs.alto, sendo considerado alto 2% de polpa de beterraba sacarina + 4% de farelo de trigo), não verificaram melhora no desempenho dos animais avaliados aos 40 dias de idade, sendo que os mesmos foram desmamados aos 26 dias e passaram por 14 dias de adaptação à dieta. Liu et al Porém, estes autores observaram aumento no consumo de ração pelos animais alimentados com cevada.…”
