“…Additionally, isoleucine, which increased at concentrations of SCCWE greater than 0.05% (Table 4), participates in the formation of hemoglobin and regulates and stabilizes blood sugar and energy levels. Furthermore, isoleucine helps in repairing muscle tissue, skin, and bones [8]. …”

This research aims to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall extract (SCCWE) on growth performance, oxidative stress, intestinal morphology, and serum amino acid concentration in weaned piglets. Utilizing a completely randomized design, 40 healthy piglets weaned at 21 d were grouped into 4 experimental treatments with 10 pigs per treatment group. Treatments consisted of a basal diet (T0), a basal diet with a 0.05% SCCWE (T1), a basal diet with a 0.10% SCCWE (T2), and a basal diet with a 0.15% SCCWE (T3). SCCWE supplementation increased the average daily gain and final body weight compared with T0 (P < 0.05). SCCWE in T2 and T3 improved the average daily feed intake and decreased the feed/gain ratio compared with T1 and T2 (P < 0.05). SCCWE decreased serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and increased activities of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) significantly compared to T0 (P < 0.05). SCCWE increased the concentration of Ile compared to T0 (P < 0.05). Moreover, the concentrations of Leu, Phe, and Arg were higher in T2 and T3 (P < 0.05). These findings indicate beneficial effects of SCCWE supplementation on growth performance, the concentration of some essential amino acids, and alleviation of oxidative stress in weaned piglets.

“…A total of 40 healthy piglets [(Yorkshire × Landrace) × Duroc] weaned at 21 d were obtained from a local commercial swine herd. Piglets were randomly grouped into four groups based on their body weight (BW) and placed into 40 pens (length, 0.5 m; width, 0.4 m; height, 0.5 m) with 10 replicates per group [8]. …”

“…Kong et al [38] reported a significant increase of the serum contents and an apparent ileal digestibility of most amino acids tested in weaned piglets supplemented with E. senticosus extract (0.1% of diet). Although protein metabolism and nitrogen retention was shown to support also some probiotic strains in animals [39] including strain CCM 7421 but after a shorter supplementation period [7,36], no increase was detected in the LF group in this study.…”

Experimental addition of Eleutherococcus senticosus and probiotic to the canine diet

et al. 2012

There is a current trend to support pet health through the addition of natural supplements to their diet, taking into account the high incidence of medical conditions related to their immune system and gastrointestinal tract. This study investigates effects of the plant Eleutherococcus senticosus as a dietary additive on faecal microbiota, faecal characteristics, blood serum biochemistry and selected parameters of cellular immunity in healthy dogs. A combination of the plant with the canine-derived probiotic strain Lactobacillus fermentum CCM 7421 was also evaluated. Thirty-two dogs were devided into 4 treatment groups; receiving no additive (control), dry root extract of E. senticosus (8 mg/kg of body weight), probiotic strain (108 CFU/mL, 0.1 mL/kg bw) and the combination of both additives. The trial lasted 49 days with 14 days supplementation period. Results confirm no antimicrobial effect of the plant on the probiotic abundance either in vitro (cultivation test) or in vivo. The numbers of clostridia, lactic acid bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria as well as the concentration of serum total protein, triglyceride, glucose and aspartate aminotransferase were significantly altered according to the treatment group. Leukocyte phagocytosis was significantly stimulated by the addition of probiotic while application of plant alone led to a significant decrease.

“…Antibiotics have traditionally been widely administered to nursery pigs for the prevention or treatment of diarrhoea and increasing growth performance in the worldwide (Kong et al 2009). However, the use of antibiotics in animal feed has been prohibited many countries including European Union since 2006 as well as South Korea since 2011 (Nguyen et al 2018).…”

A total of 180 twenty-eight-day-old weaning pigs [Duroc Â (Yorkshire Â Landrace)] with an average body weight of 7.62 ± 1.25 kg were used in a 42-day trial to evaluate the effect of probiotics mixture supplementation on weaning pigs. Pigs were randomly allotted to one of four dietary treatments: (1) CON, basal diet, (2) T1, CON þ 0.1% probiotics mixture, (3) T2, CON þ 0.2% probiotics mixture, and (4) T4, CON þ 0.3% probiotics mixture. Increasing dietary inclusion of probiotics mixture levels linearly increased average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) during day 0-7 as well as ADG and gain to feed ratio (G:F) during day 8-21 (p < .05). There was a quadratic effect in improving ADFI during day 0-7, day 22-42, and ADG during day 8-21 (p < .05). In addition, increasing inclusion of probiotics mixture levels in the diets linearly increased (p < .05) dry matter (DM), nitrogen (N), energy digestibility, and faecal Lactobacillus counts and decreased Escherichia coli counts and ammonia (NH 3) emission. However, no significant differences were observed in ADG, ADFI, G:F during day 22-42, and day 0-42 except for a quadratic increase of ADFI for day 22-42 (p < .05). Feeding the pigs with the diets containing different probiotics mixture levels did not affect the faecal hydrogen sulfide emission (p>.05). In conclusion, increasing inclusion of probiotics mixture up to 0.3% linearly improved growth performance during day 0-7 and day 8-21. Pigs fed the diets with probiotics mixture suplementation improved the nutrient digestibility, faecal bacterial enumeration, and decreased NH 3 emission. HIGHLIGHTS Probiotics mixture supplementation increased growth performance and nutrient digestibility in weaning pigs. Increased fecal Lactobacillus and reduced E. coli counts. Reduced fecal ammonia emission that can contribute in reducing environmental pollution.
