“…Besides, the EBL treatment also significantly increased butyrate content of fecal samples as compared with both control and EBS treatments. This result is in agreement with Mori K et al [23], who reported that daily probiotic intake could increase the SCFAs levels in fecal samples of pigs. We could conclude that the reason the EBS and EBL treatments had more SCFAs observed is probably due to the probiotic complexes that improved intestinal microbial balance.…”

Weaning stress can affect the growth performance and intestinal health of piglets. Dietary alternatives to antibiotics, such as dietary probiotics, especially those containing multiple microbial species, are a preventive strategy for effectively controlling post-weaning diarrhea. In this study, we investigated forty-eight crossbred piglets in three treatment groups for 21 days: the control and experimental groups were supplemented with Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134, Bacillus subtilis AS1.836 plus Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 28338 (EBS) or Lactobacillus paracasei L9 CGMCC No. 9800 (EBL). On day 21, weaned piglets supplemented with two kinds of probiotic complexes showed increased growth performance and significantly reduced postweaning diarrhea (p < 0.05). The EBS treatment increased acetic acid and propionic acid in the feces (p < 0.05), and the EBL treatment increased fecal acetic acid, propionic acid, butyrate and valerate (p < 0.05). Moreover, the fecal microbiota of the piglets changed markedly in EBL treatment. The addition of EBS and EBL may have similar effects on the prevention of diarrhea by improving the intestinal morphology and regulating the microbiota during the weaning period.

“…Other factors such as dam parity and greater ingestion of creep feed and faecal material by the LWG piglets could also have an influence on gut microbiota. (Carney‐Hinkle et al., ; Mori et al., ; Torrallardona, Andrés‐Elias, López‐Soria, Badiola, & Cerdà‐Cuéllar, ). Some studies reported that eater “creep feed” piglets have lower performance during the lactation and weaning weight (Pluske et al., ; Sulabo et al., ).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of newborn piglet weight gain during the first 2 weeks of lactation on the luminal and mucosal microbiota of the ileum and colon. The microbiota from high-weight-gain (HWG) and low-weight-gain (LWG) 2-week-old piglets was characterized by amplicon length heterogeneity PCR (LH-PCR) and compared using diversity indices and multivariate statistical analyses. At birth, LWG piglets weighted in average 0.26 kg less than HWG piglets (p = .002). The weight difference between LWG and HWG piglets increased with time and reached 2.1 kg after 16 days of lactation (p < .0001). Based on these growth performance differences, estimated colostrum and milk intake was greater in HWG than in LWG piglets (p < .0001). Analysis of the LH-PCR data of the microbiota using non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMS) and blocked multiresponse permutation procedure (MRBP) revealed that the microbiota of the HWG and LWG piglets tended to differ in ileal mucosa (p = .097) and differed in colonic lumen (p = .024). The microbiota of HWG piglets had higher levels of Bacteroidetes, Bacteroides and Ruminoccocaceae, and lower proportions of Actinobacillus porcinus and Lactobacillus amylovorus when compared with those of LWG piglets. As the weight gain of nursing piglets is highly correlated with the amount of ingested colostrum and milk, the results strongly suggest that colostrum and milk intake in the first 2 weeks of life influenced the development of the gut microbiota.

Probiotic bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have recently received attention as candidates for alternative anti-microbial feed additives. We previously isolated Enterococcus faecium strain NHRD IHARA (FERM BP-11090, NHRD IHARA strain) and reported its probiotic efficacy. However, we have not determined the effect of oral administration of heat-killed cells of this strain. Here, we performed two experiments to investigate the effect of oral administration of the heat-killed NHRD IHARA strain on post-weaning piglets. In Experiment 1, there was a significant improvement in growth performance (P = 0.04) and increase in serum immunoglobulin A (IgA) production (P = 0.03) in the group fed heat-killed cells. These results were similar to previous results we obtained with live cells. We also found changes in serum and fecal IgA production that were unrelated to the patterns of microbiotal change. In Experiment 2, we detected a significant improvement in villus growth in the jejunum (P = 0.0002). In conclusion, oral administration of the heat-killed NHRD IHARA strain in post-weaning piglets had the same efficacy as administration of the live strain. The heat-killed NHRD IHARA strain can be used as feed additives to improve pig growth and health on commercial farms.
