“…In jejunum, the crypt depth was not affected by the feed supplements; nevertheless, a higher density of KFi-67 + enterocytes was observed in all supplemented groups. A similar effect was observed after oligosaccharide feeding [48]. In turn, deeper crypts were observed on histomorphology of the colon in all supplemented groups.…”

“…CD4 + T cells represent a different collection of subsets with specific cytokines and chemokines that can activate other immune cells, resulting in activated or suppressed immune responses [77]. Nevertheless, after probiotics administration, the increased number of T cells in LP is often associated with an increased Treg [48,80]. Several reports about the ability of probiotics to increase the count of IEL in the small and large intestines of piglets have been published [33,83].…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of probiotics and herbal products on the intestinal histomorphological and immunological development in piglets. Accordingly, 2-week-old piglets were allocated in 4 groups: C (basal diet), Pro (basal diet + probiotics), Pro+B (basal diet + probiotics + buckwheat bran), and H (powder of herbs). After 6 weeks of the experiment, 4 piglets from each experimental group were randomly selected and slaughtered at a slaughterhouse. Samples of tissue and digestive content from the jejunum and colon were collected for bacteriological, histological, and immunohistochemical examination. The results showed that probiotics increased the number of Lactobacillus spp. in the small p<0.05 and large intestines. The intestinal histomorphology was improved p<0.05 in all experimental groups by an increased villus height, VH : CD ration, colon crypt depth, and number of Ki-67+ epithelial cells. A higher number p<0.05 of goblet cells and their acidification were observed in group Pro, while the density of goblet cells was decreased by the herbs. Probiotics increased p<0.05 the number of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs), density of CD3+ cells in Peyer’s patches (PPs), and lamina propria (LP). In group H, a dual effect on the CD3+ cell distribution was observed. The herbs reduced p<0.05 the number of IELs and CD3+ in LP but increased the distribution of CD3+ cells in PPs. In the colon, herbs increased CD3+ cells in LP as well. It suggests that probiotics and herbs had influence on the intestinal histomorphology and the ability to modulate the mucosal immune system; however, the combination of probiotics and buckwheat bran was not so convincing, probably due to the inhibitory effect of the buckwheat bran on the probiotics used.

“…Studies have shown that COS possesses multiple functional properties, including anti-oxidation (Fernandes et al 2010), anti-inflammation (Lee et al 2009) and immune-enhancing characteristics (Okamoto et al 2003). Researches have also revealed that COS can be used as a substitute to antibiotics and confer marked health benefits in animals (Yang et al 2012;Xie et al 2015;Suthongsa et al 2017).…”

Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS), a natural compound derived from chitin, has growth promotion property. However, the nature of the relationship between maternal COS supplementation and offspring growth is not yet understood. Therefore, we intended to determine the effects of maternal COS supplementation in late gestation and lactation on the offspring growth performance. Twenty-four pregnant Yorkshire sows were distributed into two equal groups (n ¼ 12) and fed either with a basal diet (control group) or a basal diet containing 100 mg/kg COS, from gestation day 85 until lactation day 21. Serum samples were collected from six sows of average body weight, from each group on farrowing day (lactation day 1) and lactation day 21, whereas colostrum and milk samples were respectively obtained on lactation days 1 and 21. We found that maternal COS supplementation significantly increased (p < .05) the average piglet weaning weight per litter. Supplementation of COS in the sow diet elevated (p < .05) the serum interleukin-10, immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgM concentrations, as well as total antioxidant capacity. Moreover, higher (p < .05) colostrum IgM and milk lactose contents were simultaneously observed in COS-treated sows compared to the control sows. In summary, COS supplementation during late gestation and lactation can boost antioxidant capacity and humoural immunity of sows, and contributes to improving colostrum and milk quality, ultimately, enhancing the offspring growth performance.

“…17 Several studies have demonstrated that dietary supplementation with COS could improve piglets growth performance and intestinal development 18 while enhancing animal health. 19,20 Our previous studies also indicated that dietary COS supplementation improved foetal survival and reproductive performance in multiparous sows, 21,22 and the foetal survival rate in sows aer 35 days COS supplementation was elevated by approximately 13.0%. 22 Appreciation of the important role of COS in regulating mammalian foetal survival and growth rates has grown steadily in recent years.…”
