“…However, the decrease in the CTTAD of OM and CP when chicory and ribwort were included in the cereal-based basal diet was smaller than that reported with the inclusion of other fibre-rich feedstuffs (Lindberg and Andersson, 1998;Noblet and Le Goff, 2001).…”

“…The improved digestibility of OM and fibre components, at 5 compared to 3 weeks post-weaning, indicates maturation of the hindgut and increased hindgut fermentation with increasing age. It has earlier been reported that adult sows fed fibre-rich diets have a higher digestibility of dietary components and energy than growing pigs (Noblet and Le Goff, 2001). Longland et al (1994) found an improved digestibility of NSP in 56-dayold compared to 32-day-old piglets when they were fed diets with inclusion of sugar-beet pulp, but not when they were fed cereal-based diets.…”

“…However, increasing inclusion of plant fibre in the diet may impair enzymatic digestion in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, while microbial digestion in the lower GI tract increases. This may negatively affect the digestibility of dietary components and impair the energy value of the diet (Noblet and Le Goff, 2001). However, increased fibre level in the diet of weaned piglets lowers the pH in the hindgut (Hö gberg and Lindberg, 2006) and increases the content of organic acids in the stomach and the ileum Lindberg, 2004, 2006).…”

Twenty-five weaned 35-day-old piglets were used in a 35-day growth experiment to evaluate the effect of inclusion of chicory and ribwort forage in a cereal-based diet on growth performance, feed intake, digestibility and shedding of faecal coliform bacteria. A total of seven experimental diets were formulated, a cereal-based basal diet (B), and six diets with inclusion of 40, 80 and 160 g/kg chicory (C40, C80 and C160) or ribwort (R40, R80 and R160). Piglets had ad libitum access to feed and water throughout the experiment. Three and five weeks post-weaning faeces samples for determination of digestibility were collected once a day for five subsequent days. Additional faeces samples for determination of coliform counts were collected at days 1, 16 and 35 post-weaning. Piglets fed diet R160 had the lowest average daily feed intake (DFI) and daily weight gain (DWG), and differed ( P , 0.05) from piglets fed diets B, R40 and R80. There were no differences in DFI and DWG between the chicory diets and diet B. Inclusion of chicory or ribwort had a minor negative impact on the coefficient of total tract apparent digestibility (CTTAD) of dry matter, organic matter and crude protein, whereas inclusion of both chicory and ribwort resulted in higher CTTAD of non-starch polysaccharides and neutral detergent fibre (NDF). The CTTAD of arabinose were higher for diets C160 and R160 than for diet B ( P , 0.05), and the CTTAD of uronic acid was higher for diets C40, C80, C160, R80 and R160 than for diet B ( P , 0.05). Age affected the CTTAD for all parameters ( P , 0.05) except for NDF, with higher values at 5 than at 3 weeks post-weaning. The coliform counts decreased with increasing age ( P , 0.05), but was not affected by treatment. The results indicate that inclusion of up to 160 g/kg of chicory do not negatively affect performance, whereas high inclusion of ribwort have a negative impact on feed consumption and consequently on growth rate. Both herbs have a higher digestibility of fibre compared to cereal fibre. Chicory and ribwort are both promising as feedstuffs to weaned piglets, but the low palatability of ribwort limits the inclusion level.

“…Although we were not able to estimate the digestibility values of the chicory forage and root independently of diet, it is clear that chicory forage is the fibre source with highest fibre digestibility followed by chicory root and wheat/barley. A close link between the chemical composition of plant fibre and digestibility in pigs has also been found by Noblet and Le Goff (2001).…”

“…The coefficient of total tract apparent digestibility (CTTAD) of dietary fibre ranges from about zero for water-insoluble dietary fibres rich in lignin to 0.80 to 0.90 for water-soluble dietary fibres such as pectin, and consequently the energy and nutrient utilization of dietary fibre is highly dependent on the fibre source (Noblet and Le Goff, 2001). Moreover, the effect on the microbiota varies with fibre source.…”

A total of 30 7-week-old pigs were used to evaluate the effects of chicory inclusion on digestibility, digestive organ size and faecal microbiota. Five diets were formulated: a cereal-based control diet and four diets with inclusion of 80 and 160 g/kg chicory forage (CF80 and CF160), 80 g/kg chicory root (CR80) and a mix of 80 g/kg forage and 80 g/kg chicory root (CFR). Generally, the pigs showed a high growth rate and feed intake, and no differences between the different diets were observed. The coefficients of total tract apparent digestibility (CTTAD) of energy, organic matter and CP did not differ between the control and CF80, whereas they were impaired in diet CF160. The CTTAD of non-starch polysaccharides and especially the uronic acids were higher (P , 0.05) with chicory inclusion, with highest (P , 0.05) values for diet CF160. Coliform counts were lower and lactobacilli : coliform ratio was higher (P , 0.05) in diet CFR than in the control. Global microbial composition was investigated by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism combined with cloning and sequencing. Analysis of gut microbiota pattern revealed two major clusters where diet CF160 differed from the control and CR80 diet. Chicory forage diets were correlated with an increased relative abundance of one species related to Prevotella and decreased abundance of two other species related to Prevotella. For diet CFR, the relative abundance of Lactobacillus johnsonii was higher than in the other diets. This study shows that both chicory forage and root can be used as fibre sources in pig nutrition and that they modulate the composition of the gut microbiota differently.
