“…The addition of 4% brewer's yeast to the sow's diet during late gestation and lactation significantly increased piglet weaning survival rate and weaning weight, significantly reduced piglet stillbirth rate, and improved sow milk production and quality (Song et al, 2017). It has also been found that the addition of yeast cultures to sows during late gestation and lactation significantly increased the average daily weight gain of piglets and improved the milk yield of sows (Zhao et al, 2022), which is consistent with the results of present experiment. Studies have shown that the nutritional status of the sow affects milk production, especially the availability of energy and protein during lactation, and that increased nutritional availability promotes mammary gland development as well as metabolism, which leads to increased milk production (Kim et al, 2000;Bass et al, 2019;Lu et al, 2019).…”

“…Yeast cultures have various functions, such as maintaining the intestinal health of animals, improving production performance, improving feed nutrition, and promoting the metabolism of the body (Fan et al, 2012;Diao, 2016;Burdick Sanchez et al, 2021). Yeast cultures have been widely used in swine production in recent years, and studies have found that the addition of yeast cultures to sow diets from late gestation to lactation improves feed intake, immune status, milk production, milk quality, and fecal microbiota, thereby improving the growth performance of piglets (Zhao et al, 2022). However, the effect of maternal addition of yeast cultures on offspring gut development and gut microbiota is unknown and needs further study.…”

IntroductionThe effects of maternal addition of yeast cultures on offspring gut development and intestinal microorganisms are not yet known, so the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of maternal addition of yeast cultures to the diet of sows during late gestation and lactation on growth performance, antioxidant properties and intestinal microorganisms of offspring weaned piglets.Methods40 Landrace × Yorkshire sows (3–7 of parity) with similar backfat were randomly divided into two treatment groups: control diet (CON) and control diet +2.0 g/kg yeast culture (XPC), and the trial started on day 90 of gestation and ended on day 21 of lactation.ResultsThe results showed that maternal addition of yeast culture significantly increased weaned piglet weight and mean daily gain (p < 0.05), with a tendency to increase litter weight gain (p = 0.083) and liver weight (p = 0.076) compared to the control group. The content of thymus malondialdehyde (MDA) was significantly higher (p < 0.05) and the content of colon total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) was significantly lower (p < 0.05) in the offspring weaned piglets of the XPC group compared to the control group. The expression of thymus SOD1 and SOD2, spleen SOD1, jejunum SOD2, and colon GPX1, SOD1, and SOD2 were significantly downregulated in the XPC group of offspring weaned piglets compared with the control group (p < 0.05). The intestinal morphology and the content of short-chain fatty acids in colonic chyme did not differ between the two groups (p > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the XPC group significantly increased the relative abundance of colonic chyme Bacteroidetes (p < 0.05), tended to decrease the relative abundance of Lactobacillus (p = 0.078), and tended to increase the relative abundance of Alloprevotella (p = 0.055). The XPC group significantly upregulated Blautia and Fournierella (p < 0.05) and significantly downregulated Candidatus_Competibacter, Nitrospira, Dechloromonas, Haliangium, and Oscillospira (p < 0.05).DiscussionIn conclusion, maternal addition of yeast cultures improved the growth performance of offspring weaned piglets and changed the intestinal microbial community, but did not improve their antioxidant performance.

“…En tal sentido, debido a la selección genética para la prolificidad, las cerdas modernas experimentan una gran demanda metabólica de nutrientes para la producción de leche (PL) para satisfacer un gran tamaño de camada [31]; asimismo, el estrés por calor es un factor principal que influye negativamente en el bienestar y la eficiencia productiva de las cerdas en climas cálidos [6,29].…”

“…Por lo tanto, los cultivos de levadura se han utilizado ampliamente como probiótico utilizando una pequeña cantidad de células de levadura vivas o como prebiótico con metabolitos de levadura o componentes de la pared celular como aditivos para mejorar el rendimiento porcino [31] y se ha incrementado enormemente en la última década, especialmente después de la prohibición de los antibióticos promotores del crecimiento en Europa [1,18]. Aunado a esto, la producción y la calidad de la leche no solo proporcionan nutrientes para apoyar el crecimiento de los recién nacidos [28], sino que, en última instancia, afectan el rendimiento del crecimiento y la salud intestinal de las crías [7].…”

La inclusión de probiótico hidrolizado (PHZ) en la dieta puede contribuir al rendimiento y la salud de las cerdas y los lechones. Este estudio consistió en evaluar la actividad del PHZ (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) como respuesta productiva en cerdas lactantes de la línea genética PIC. Se seleccionaron 48 hembras entre 1 a 6 partos, distribuidas en tres grupos de 16 animales, que, a partir de los 85 días de gestación hasta el destete, recibieron 0; 3 y 6 gramos (g) de PHZ, respectivamente. Los tratamientos (T) se organizaron en un diseño en bloques completamente al azar con el T de cultivo de levadura como efecto principal y número de parto con factor de bloqueo. Se recolectó calostro, para el análisis de composición. Los datos se analizaron por medio de un ANAVA y prueba de LSD de Fischer. Los resultados obtenidos infieren un efecto significativo (P<0,05) en los grupos con la inclusión de 3 y 6 g; la variable nacidos totales alcanzó promedios de 14,04 y 14,56; mientras que, nacidos vivos fue de 13, 21 y 13,43. Además, el peso promedio de los lechones al destete fue 7,85 y 7,95 kilogramos. Asimismo, el PHZ mejoró el porcentaje de grasa en la leche (P<0,05). Se concluye, que la inclusión PHZ en cerdas con gestación tardía y lactantes tiene un efecto suplementario en la alimentación.

“…Furthermore, supplementation with YC in growing–finishing pigs improved intestinal development and morphology and increased the relative abundance of probiotics [ 8 ]. Dietary YC supplementation in sows increased the milk lactose, protein and DM content, and changed the fecal microbiota of sows, resulting in improved growth performance of piglets [ 9 , 10 ]. Sun et al [ 11 ] reported that mixed yeast culture supplementation increased body weight gain, digestibility of dry matter, and population of Lactobacillus in broilers.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of yeast culture (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) supplementation on the growth performance, meat quality, gut health, and microbiota community of growing–finishing pigs. A total of 45 growing–finishing pigs were randomly allocated to three treatments: a corn–soybean-based diet (CON, n = 15), a wheat–rice-based diet (GRA, n = 15), and GRA supplemented with 500 mg/kg yeast culture (YC, n = 15). The results show that compared to the CON group, the GRA group exhibited no significant differences in feed intake, daily gain, or feed conversion ratio, but had significantly reduced feed cost per kilogram BW gain of the finishing pigs (p < 0.05). Compared to that of the CON group, the GRA and YC groups showed an increase in the dressing percentage (p < 0.1). The meat color redness of the YC group increased (p < 0.1), whereas the b* value at 24 h decreased (p < 0.1). Meanwhile, the addition of YC significantly increased total superoxide dismutase activity on day 30 and catalase activity on day 60 (p < 0.05), and decreased serum urea nitrogen content on day 60 (p < 0.05). Furthermore, YC supplementation increased the gene expression of the duodenal anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 (p < 0.05), while it significantly decreased the gene expression of the ileal pro-inflammatory factor IL-8 (p < 0.05). The intestinal microbial identification results show that compared to the CON group, the YC group showed an increase in the relative abundances of Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, and Clostridium in the colon, and a decrease in the relative abundances of Bacteroidea, Clostridae, and Prevotella in the cecum. In conclusion, the growth performance of pigs on a wheat–rice-based diet was similar to that of pigs on a corn–soybean-based diet. Supplementation of 0.5% YC in the wheat–rice-based diet could improve the dressing percentage and meat color of growing–finishing pigs, which might be due to the increase in nitrogen utility and antioxidant capacity, and the improvement of the immune system and changes in microbiota communities.
