Practical applications of probiotics in pig production
Increased sows feed consumption, protection against piglet diarrhea, meat quality improvement and many more…
Probiotics are used in all stages of porcine production: sow herd, nursery and growing-finishing pigs. Generally speaking, the use of probiotics aims to establish a healthy gut microbiota, improve health, well-being and productivity of the animals (Cho et al. 2011). However, if we are more specific, the practical application (or result) of using probiotics can be distinct in every context (see table 1). This article briefly describes main applications for which probiotics have been evaluated in different productive stages of swine production.
Table 1. Main applications of probiotics in the swine industry. Adapted from Barba-Vidal et al. Practical aspects of the use of probiotics in pig production: A review. Livestock Science 223 (2019) 84–96.
Sow herd Reduction of clinical signs of the uterus and/or udder disease Increase feed consumption during last pregnancy stages or lactation Improvement of body condition at the end of lactation Reduction of the weaning–estrus interval due to energy mobilization Improvement of colostrum quality, milk quality and quantity Reduction of gut pathogens in sows and/or piglets Modulation of litter immunity Enhancement of litter size Enhancement of growth rates of the piglets Reduction of clinical signs of diarrhea in piglets Delivery of probiotics to piglets Modulation of stress response Nursery Modulation of piglet’s gut microbiota Protection against pathogenic bacteria, gastrointestinal disorders and diarrhea Enhancement of intestinal barrier function Modulation of immunity Improvement of digestibility, enhanced growth and feed conversion ratio Improvement of productive parameters in piglets Supplementation of targeted nutrients Fattening pigs Improvement of meat quality Improvement of digestibility Reduction of contamination by decreasing fecal NH3- N Reduction of subclinical pathogenic infections or zoonoses Reduction of mortality Improvement of weight gain Improvement of gut health Sow herd and piglets
Administering probiotic treatments to sows has demonstrated a dual potential, including benefits for themselves and for piglets. Supplementation of sows with probiotics may increase feed consumption during late pregnancy stages or lactation, improving body condition at the end of lactation (Bohmer et al. 2006). This situation is desirable, because it can cause a reduction of the necessity of energy mobilization at lactation. This, in turn, could be the explanation of the reduction in the weaning–estrus interval that has also been reported with probiotics (Hayakawa et al. 2016). Reproductive-performance-related benefits have also been reported with the use of probiotics in sows. For example, an increase in the number of piglets (Apic et al. 2014) or higher piglet growth rates with greater body weight at weaning (Alexopoulos et al. 2004). Furthermore, a reduction of gut pathogens (Kritas et al. 2015), clinical signs of uterus and/or udder disease (Apic et al. 2014), together with fewer clinical signs of diarrhea in piglets (Taras et al. 2006) have also been described. Finally, there is an ongoing scientific interest to assess the capacity of sows to deliver probiotics to piglets in early-life stages (Scharek-Tedin et al. 2015).
Nursery piglets
Up until today, the nursery period is where the use of probiotics is receiving more interest in swine production, with the aim to improve weaning outcome (de Lange et al. 2010). Weanling piglets have low disease resistance, which makes them vulnerable to stress reactions and invasion by pathogenic microorganisms (Konstantinov et al., 2006). This can be a serious problem, as this period is considered critical in terms of productivity, because performance parameters at the first week post-weaning can be correlated to subsequent performance of the pigs up to the market weight (Kats et al., 1992).
Probiotics can potentially act beneficially in these animals in several ways. For instance, it has been reported that supplementing weanlings with probiotics may prevent or improve diarrhea (Bhandari et al. 2008), re-establish microbial balance after a transient drop in favorable bacteria (Krause et al. 2010), protect against pathogenic bacteria (Casey et al. 2007), enhance intestinal barrier function (Guerra-Ordaz et al. 2014) and stimulate immunity (Lessard et al. 2009). As a consequence of one or a combination of the before-mentioned reasons, probiotics have been reported to improve productive parameters of post-weaning piglets in many occasions (Ahmed et al. 2014, Bhandari et al. 2010).
Fattening pigs
The main objective to use probiotics in this phase would be to enhance productivity. Scientific literature published until now would support the idea that although older pigs have more developed immunity, and capacity to resist intestinal disorders, there is still a margin for probiotics to act and potentiate growth; especially in early growing phases or high-density diets (Meng et al. 2010). Improvement of the final meat quality and organoleptic properties could also be another target for probiotics in this phase, as probiotics have been described to affect meat color, marbling and firmness scores (Černauskienė et al., 2011); and reduce potentially zoonotic infections such as Salmonella spp. (Casey et al., 2007). Finally, a weakly explored but interesting potential of probiotics is to reduce environmental pollutants from animal manure. Several probiotics have been reported to be capable of reducing potential pollutants from manure such as fecal noxious gas (H2S) or ammonia (NH3) content, particularly in pigs fed high-nutrient density diets (Yan and Kim, 2013). The direct mechanisms for these effects are still unknown, although indirect mechanisms such as improving feed efficiency, nutrient retention and modulation of gut microbiota are probably involved.

BuddhaPalm: Stop entertaining girls who are not tripping for you they way you are tripping for them.
Cut her off.
If person no send you, no send am.
Learn to treat people exactly the way they treat you, perhaps even slightly worse.
I don't know why, but women are more responsive to guys who treat them like shit if they don't behave.
Some years ago, some girl came a-visiting and acted how I didn't like.
The next morning I dropped her off at the nearest filling station...under the rain.
You won't believe how she responded to me the next time she saw me.
Then she invited herself to my place, and was the most feminine compliant girl on the planet.
Finally, don't cut her off expecting a response. Do it because you respect yourself.
the last sentence is the crown on it. top man! |

Paulscholari: 17/03/2018
Praise the LORD! Please with all humility, whilst praying with her family by GOD'S GRACE, Barbara (a Sister in H.S.M) began to pray in tongues, so the thought was that she glorified GOD. But suddenly, she screamed: "It is so hot! It's so hot!" Her family then interrupted the prayer and recorded everything and please, following is what our LORD JESUS CHRIST let her speak by HIS GRACE.
A message from Stephen Hawking in HELL
"It is so hot here! I am Stephen Hawking, tell the atheists, tell the scientists that they should not come to this torment, no, no, they should not come! This fire is too hot and I can't take another look on this lake! It is too much, oh no! Tell the atheists not to come here! I regret what I've done, JESUS is true, JESUS CHRIST is king! Oh my God! (screaming)
“I am Stephen Hawking, everything I said was a lie, it is a lie for the enemy deceived me. Oh no, the atheists should not come here, it is too hot (screaming) They should not experience this torment.
“Tell my family and friends that they should not come here, they should not think that there's no life after death, hell is real!
“Oh, it is so hot here! Hell is real, oh I need mercy, I need mercy! I want to come back to earth to destroy my own works, I don't want to stay here, oh, hell is real, hell is real! (Screaming) I regret what I've done. Do not believe in what I did as it is a lie from the enemy, these demons told me to do so. Oh no! (Screaming)
“I regret my deeds, because of me thousands of people will enter into hellfire. Oh no! Life after death is real! I stood before the Judgement Throne and MASTER JESUS told me that I should have been with HIM now, HE wanted to use me as HIS instrument so that I might bring souls to HIM but I refused, that enemy deceived me, I refused! Oh, no! (Screaming)
“They lied to me but Hellfire is real. Oh, oh no, the demons are coming, it's too much, I can't take it anymore! Oh, hell is real, I plead for mercy, I need mercy. Oh mercy! Oh, mercy! No! (Screaming) I am Stephen Hawking and there is life after death, it is real! (Screaming) Tell those atheists, tell everyone who believes me, tell those scientists that it is true, hellfire is real. Oh no! (Screaming)"
Please, take heed whilst the sun still shines. For there is a GOD, hell is real and so is HEAVEN. May the LORD have mercy 1 Like |

Coldfeets: Stop deceiving yourself biko.
You are relishing this moment because you've always prayed for it.
Now it's your turn to take your own pound of flesh and you want to take your time in having a perfect revenge.
My friend please just go and save your sister's marriage... if you can.
Revenge is sweet but an eye for an eye will leave everyone blind. There's nothing wrong with relishing that moment, he should take his time. Family should stick together, but they showed him he didn't matter because he had no money. Those people will forget him in minutes if he goes broke today and deny all he has done for them. Let him enjoy his revenge. |

MoR2: Few Chelsea fans are blind sided by Bakayoko's mistakes but not so the majority who chant that he doesn't let any get away.
This is clearly shown in his stats 3 tackles per game while Matic makes about 2 per game and they have similar interception ratios but Bakayoko prevails in aerial duels, clearances and hardly is dribbled past. Well he commits fouls just as much as he is fouled, sure Matic passes the ball better but Bakayoko makes does runs and dribbles that 2 goals and 3 assists he has in 10 games.
He makes mistakes cause he is trying new things, he might not be a safety net but he sure makes up for the errors. He will improve, he won't be dispossed as much as he is if he reduces his runs and improves his long ball and passes, but if their's space to run through in midfield Bakayoko is gonna go for that sprint. you are right. he has everything to get better and i believe he will. his coaches will obviously have seen his dispossession and are working on it. people just want to axe someone here because everyone is doing so 2 Likes |
