“…Research by some authors (18,24,28) indicates that adding fructans to feed mixtures for pigs increases production of short-chain organic acids in the digestive tract. In the present study, the highest total content of selected SCFAs in the cecum was noted in groups IV (82.4 µM/g) and III (79.8 µM/g), which received inulin in their feed (group III) or inulin with a probiotic (group IV), with the highest concentrations noted for propionic and butyric acid, and the lowest for isobutyric acid.…”

SummaryThe addition of inulin and/or a probiotic to feed mixtures for pigs can lead to changes in microflora composition and production of short-chain organic acids (SCFA) in the final segment of the digestive tract. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of an inulin and/or a probiotic supplement on Enterobacteriaceae taxa, the susceptibility of the bacteria to six antibiotics, and SCFA content in the cecum and colon, as well as changes in the histological structure of the intestines. The experiment was conducted on 80 fattening pigs with an initial body weight of 30.0 ± 0.5 kg, divided into 4 groups: control (I-C) and three experimental ones, fed the diets either with a probiotic (group II-P), inulin (III-I) or a both additives (group IV-PI). The animals were given ad libitum access to grower (30-70 kg) and finisher (71-115 kg) feed mixtures. During slaughter, from 8 pigs of each group, samples of contents and tissue from the cecum and colon were collected for laboratory analysis. The results of the study indicate differences in the expression of antibiotic resistance in the Enterobacteriaceae isolates depending on the type of dietary supplement. The inulin supplement caused changes in SCFA concentration, mainly an increase in the concentration of propionic and butyric acid, and also increased the thickness of the muscular layer.The synbiotic (mixture of prebiotics and probiotics) was confirmed to have a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal microbiome, which may be of significance in preventing the spread of Enterobacteriaceae infections in pigs.

“…It is composed of oligo-and polysaccharides, which give inulin its unique prebiotic properties (19). Notably, thanks to β-(2-1) glycosidic bonds, inulin is resistant to digestive enzymes of the small intestine in monogastric animals.…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of an inulin source (aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic extract, dried chicory root, or dried Jerusalem artichoke tubers) on piglet performance, plasma lipid profile, and immunoglobulin concentration. The study was conducted on 534 piglets (44 litters) allocated to five nutritional groups: group I (control) -fed basal diet, groups II and III receiving basal diet supplemented with 2% of inulin (aqueous and aqueous-alcoholic extract respectively), and groups IV and V -4% additive of dried artichoke or dried chicory respectively. During the trial, piglets' body weight, feed intake, diarrhoea incidence, and mortality were controlled. Blood samples were collected twice from six animals of each group. In blood plasma, indices of lipid profile and concentrations of IgA, IgG and IgM were measured. The addition of inulin, regardless of its form (extracts or dried plants), significantly improved the rearing indices. In piglets of groups III, IV and V a significant improvement of daily weight gains and feed efficiency was noted. Inulin showed hypolipidemic activity (lowered total cholesterol level) and stimulated piglet immune system manifested by elevated IgA and IgG concentrations. Irrespective of the inulin source, a lower mortality rate resulting from the improvement of animal health was noted in all experimental groups.

“…Prebiyotikler fermente olduktan sonra konak gastrointestinal yolakta faydalı etkilere yol açan ürünlerdir; bu ikisinin bir arada kombine preparatları 'sinbiyotik' adını almaktadır. Bugün için sadece bifidojenik(bifidobakterilerin büyümesine yardımcı), sindirilmeyen oligosakkarit olan inulin tam olarak prebiyotik tanımlamasına uymaktadır 39 . Bunlar intestinal mikrofloraya faydalı etkileri olan diyetsel liflerdir.…”

Altered microbial composition(dysbiosis) has been correlated with a number of diseases in humans. It is nowadays proposed that the microbiome, incapable to keep up with the changes of our life-style and feeding sources, within few years might have contributed to immune imbalances. A number of studies in germ-free and antibiotic-treated animal models support causal roles for intestinal bacteria in disease susceptibility. Probiotics are defined viable microorganisms, sufficient amounts of which reach the intestine in an active state and thus exert positive health effects. The rationale and the challenges of using these probiotics in management of patients, there have been so many studies performed up. İn these studies findings support probiotics as a viable therapeutic method to treat intestinal flora imbalance and diseased caused by dysbiosis. Key words: Host-pathogen interactions, inflammatory bowel disease, pathogenicity. ÖZETDeğişime uğramış mikroflora(disbiyoz) insanlarda pek çok hastalıklar ile ilişkilidir. Bugünlerde mikrofloranın yaşam stili, beslenme kaynaklarındaki değişime adapte olamadığı durumlarda yıllar içinde immun bozuklukların gelişmesinden sorumlu tutulmaktadır. Dış çevreden bağımsız ve antibiyotik tedavili hayvan model çalışmaları da hastalıklara yatkınlıkta intestinal bakterilerin sorumlu olabileceğini desteklemektedir. Probiyotikler bağırsak ortamına aktif durumda yeterli miktarda ulaştıklarında sağlıklı etkiler oluşturabilen etkin mikroorganizmalar olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Hastalıkların kontrolünde bu probiotiklerin kullanabilirliği gerçeği ve seçeneğini araştırmak amaçlı çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Probiotikler, intestinal flora dengesizliğinde ve disbiyozun neden olduğu
