“…Large variation between animals and litters or in the protein content of the intestine may be the reason. Lactase was found to be present during fetal development of the pig, in agreement with the data of Sprague et al (1963) and Hornich et al (1974). In the newborn {Bailey et al., 1956;Walker, 1959;Hartman et al, 1961;Dahlquist, 1961a\ Manners andStevens, 1972;Tacu and Romer, 1973) the level of lactase appears to be relatively high in comparison with that of the weaned or adult pig (table V).…”

The changes with age of intestinal mucosa, protein, lactase, maltase and sucrase were followed in the piglet between day 105 of gestation and 8 weeks after birth. Lactase and maltase activities appeared during fetal life in the whole of the small intestine. Activity of sucrase was recorded after the 1st postnatal week. Lactase activity was high at birth and reached a maximum at 1 week (× 2.5); maltase activity which was low at birth increased to the 8th week (× 143). Activities of all enzymes were low in the duodenum; lactase was most active in the jejunum. Similar activities of maltase and sucrase were found in the two distal parts of the small intestine. Specific activity (related to protein content) of lactase reached a maximum at the end of the 1st week after birth and decreased afterwards. Specific maltase and sucrase activities were higher in the 2nd week, decreased between the 2nd and 4th week and increased afterwards (maltase) or decreased to the 6th-8fh week (sucrase).

“…However, this activity was moderate in duodenum and strong in jejunum and ileum of control animals (Table 2). Sprague et al (1963) reported increasing alkaline phosphatase activity from cranial and middle sections of jejunum and ileum in new-born pigs, which was in agreement with the present finding. In the absorptive epithelium of the present study, this enzyme activity was slightly lower at day 30 in the control group of piglets, which might be due to the weaning effect as also revealed by Melo et al (2016).…”

Background: Probiotics and zinc are commonly used and beneficial in pig production. This work aimed to assess the effect of probiotic and zinc on brush-border enzyme activity and histoenzymatic study of the small intestine in pre and post-weaned piglets. Methods: Eighteen LWY piglets were divided equally into control and treatment groups. The piglets were maintained in standard management conditions and were weaned at 28 days of age. The treatment group of piglets fed a mixture of probiotics orally @ 1.25 x 109 CFU/day and zinc @ 2000 ppm/day from birth to 10 days of age. At three different age-groups viz. day 20 (pre-weaning), day 30 (weaning) and day 60 (post-weaning), the animals were sacrificed. For disaccharidase enzyme estimation, the mucosal brush border of the small intestine was scrapped off and the experiment was conducted. For histoenzymatic assay, the small intestine samples were preserved in liquid nitrogen at -196ºC immediately after sacrifice. They were sectioned at 10µm thickness maintained at -20ºC and stained for different histochemical staining. The statistical analysis of the data using the appropriate statistical tests was also conducted. Result: The activity of different brush-border enzymes such as maltase, sucrase and lactase was more in the treatment group of piglets. The activity of different histochemical enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, adenosine tri-phosphatase and non-specific esterase was increased in the treated group of piglets.

“…The prenatal development of the intestine was described in man [Arey, 1966] and bovines [Doitg/tri el a!., 1972], Sprague et al [1963] localized alkaline phosphatase in the pig embryo and Helander [1975] observed both the acid and the alkaline phosphatases in the intestine of the rat. Lev and Welsberg [1969] demonstrated glycogen in the human fetal intestine.…”

The mucosa of the small and large intestine of goat fetuses exhibited villi which had disappeared after the 32.5-cm curved crown rump (CVR) stage. At places, the stratified epithelial lining persisted among the normal columnar epithelium with goblet cells. The concentration of goblet cells increased with age, while the thickness of the epithelium decreased. The crypts of Lieberkühn were tortuous at the base. Brunner’s glands appeared at the 14.2-cm CVR stage. Peyer’s patches appeared at the 24.5-cm CVR stage in the ileum. The muscularis mucosae differentiated in the large intestine in group II (16.2- to 24.5-cm CVR length) and progressed caudocranially. The striated border of the intestinal epithelium presented with alkaline phosphatase activity; this border and the goblet cells also stained for mucin. Glycogen was demonstrable in the epithelium with greater concentrations in the duodenum and jejunum in group I (11.5-to 14.6-cm CVR length), and in the ileum and large intestine in group III (30.8-to 39.5-cm CVR length).
