“…Glutamine is one of the most important amino acids (quantitatively) within organs. At catabolic state and with bowel injuries, such as those occurring during piglet weaning, it may become an important dietary component for maintaining the structure and function of the intestinal metabolism (Maiorka et al, 2016). It is the most abundant intracellular amino acid found in organisms (Yelamanchi et al, 2016) and is considered a nonessential amino acid capable of generating energy or synthesizing other amino acids (Watford, 2015).…”

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of dietary glutamine and glutamic acid supplementation on carbon turnover (δ13C) in the muscles of piglets, on animal performance, and on feed economic feasibility. The diets consisted of: control (C), 1% glutamine (G), and 1% glutamic acid (GA). In experiment I, 111 piglets were used to assess carbon turnover in the Masseter, Psoas major, and Abdominal internal oblique muscles in terms of their isotopic composition and 13C substitution over time. In experiment II, 72 piglets were assigned randomly to blocks (eight replicates per treatment and three animals per experimental unit), in order to evaluate animal performance and feed economic feasibility. The GA diet promoted the best 13C acceleration in the studied muscles. No diet effects were observed on performance variables. The G and GA diets presented higher costs than the C diet. Although supplementation with 1% glutamine or glutamic acid accelerates carbon turnover in the studied muscles, which suggests a faster recovery during post-weaning and proves the anabolic effect of these additives, its use is not economically viable for weanling piglets.

“…Glutamine dietary supplementation decreases health problems, prevents intestinal atrophy, maintains antioxidant status, decreases incidence of diarrhea, resulting in increased weight gain and improved efficiency (Haynes et al, 2009;Zhong et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2014;Watford, 2015). Similar results have also been reported in broiler chicken (Nassiri Moghaddam and Alizadeh-Ghamsari, 2013;Jazideh et al, 2014;Nascimento et al, 2014;Manvailer et al, 2015;Muro et al, 2015;Olubodun et al, 2015;Ribeiro Jr et al, 2015;Luquetti et al, 2016;Maiorka et al, 2016;Namroud et al, 2017).…”

After a collaborative and uninterrupted work, the UPS has continued to improve one more year as a Research University, and has gone from the position 6,611 in the world and 13 in Ecuador (Webometrics, 2013) to the position 2627 (Webometrics, 2020) worldwide, it is the 170 on the continent and 7 in Ecuador. The continuous improvement of all teams and the strategic vision have made progress in the World Ranking, allowing to go to 3984 positions in 7 years and 366 new positions compared to 2019. Within this global strategy of improvement of the UPS as a Research University, LA GRANJA, belonging to the area of Life Sciences, was the first university publication of Ecuador to be included in SCOPUS, Elsevier publishing house and indexed in the Emerging Source Citation Index of the Web of Science (WOS). This edition presents articles by authors from 5 countries and 16 Universities and Research Centers. We started this number 31 with the topic of weather monitoring, in an effort between the Sciences Department of Environmental Systems of Switzerland and Universidad de Cuenca, led by Dr. Ryan Padrón and his excellent team. In addition, researchers from Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas, led by Teófilos Toulkeridis, analyze the problem of perceptions in the important and current topic of Climate Change.

“…Furthermore, an increased number of goblet cells of the intestinal villi have been reported after dietary administration of prebiotics; these specialized cells are responsible for secreting glycoprotein compounds, mainly mucins, which bind pathogenic microorganisms and reduce their adherence to the intestinal mucosa [71]. These morphological changes lead to a higher efficiency of nutrient absorption, since well-developed and functional enterocytes have been associated with increased absorptive area of the intestine [72] but also with an increased activity of the intestinal brush border enzymes and the nutrient transport systems [70,73].…”

Prebiotics and Probiotics - Potential Benefits in Nutrition and Health

Nowadays there is a great concern about antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which has been recognized as one of the most serious global public health threats. Multilateral organizations focused on global health accept the use of antibiotics in animal production as one of the main drivers of AMR, so that many strategies to control this problem have been proposed, resulting in the total ban of antibiotics as growth-promoting agents. On the other hand, this ban has led to an increase in the incidence of bacterial infections or even to the use of antibiotics at therapeutic doses, which could cause a worse scenario of bacterial resistance. Poultry is one of the most commonly exploited species worldwide and a sector that continues to grow and industrialize in many parts of the world, so it was to be expected that a large part of the antibiotics used in animal production was destined to this industry. The reduction or complete abolition of antibiotics in poultry production would have a positive effect in the control of AMR, but this would also have negative economic and public health repercussions, caused by foodborne pathogens and the decrease of the productive parameters. For that, many specific alternatives have been evaluated and marketed, prebiotics being one of the most promising alternatives for the poultry industry.
