Antimicrobial Peptides from Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) as Potential Antimicrobial Factors Representing an Alternative to Antibiotics in Livestock Farming
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide general information on currently verified AMPs of Hermetia illucens, describe their potential medical value, discuss the mechanism of their synthesis and interactions, and consider the development of bacterial resistance to AMPs in comparison with antibiotics, aiming to provide a candidate for substitution of antibiotics in livestock farming or, to some extent, for blocking the horizontal transfer of resistance genes in the environment.

Antibiotic resistance : from pig to meat
TL;DR: In this article, a review of antibiotic resistance in pig farms, including their microbiome, many factors of their environment (agricultural workers, farms, rivers, etc), and an overview of the impact of antibiotic resistant bacteria on pork meat is presented.
Review on Preventive Measures to Reduce Post-Weaning Diarrhoea in Piglets
Nuria Canibe,Ole Højberg,Hanne Kongsted,D. Vodolazska,Charlotte Lauridsen,Tina Skau Nielsen,Anna A. Schönherz +6 more
TL;DR: A review of feed-related measures for post-weaning diarrhoea can be found in this article , where the authors conclude that combining strategies may lead to additive (e.g., synbiotics), synergistic or antagonistic effects.
Effects of dietary supplementation with itaconic acid on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, slaughter variables, blood biochemical parameters, and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the effects of dietary itaconic acid (IA) supplementation on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, slaughter variables, blood parameters, and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens.

Marine Macroalgae in Rabbit Nutrition—A Valuable Feed in Sustainable Farming
TL;DR: The inclusion of marine algae in rabbit food could potentially become a commercial marketing strategy that could attract new consumers who are concerned about environmental sustainability and who are looking for different, high-quality foods.

Medium-chain triglyceride as an alternative of in-feed colistin sulfate to improve growth performance and intestinal microbial environment in newly weaned pigs.
TL;DR: Results showed that dietary supplementation with MCT improved the gain-to-feed ratio during days 3-7 and in the overall period and could improve the intestinal microbial environment and the feed utilization efficiency of newly weaned pigs.

Dietary supplementation of Bifidobacterium longum strain AH1206 increases its cecal abundance and elevates intestinal interleukin-10 expression in the neonatal piglet.
Tina M. Herfel,Sheila K. Jacobi,Xi Lin,Zeina Jouni,Maciej Chichlowski,Chad H. Stahl,Jack Odle +6 more
TL;DR: Dietary supplementation with B. longum (AH1206) may be safe for human infants based on a lack of growth, development or deleterious immune-related effects observed in piglets, based on findings in the suckling piglet model.

Improvement of growth performance and sanitary status of weaned piglets fed a bovine colostrum-supplemented diet
TL;DR: There was a reduction of weaning-induced growth check and diarrheal episodes in weaned piglets fed the Col diet, and the beneficial effects of the bovine colostrum were observed beyond the period of treatment when the supplementation covered the first 6 d postweaning, which corresponded to the acute phase of post weaning digestive disturbances.

Purified cellulose, soybean hulls and citrus pulp as a source of fiber for weaned piglets
Leonardo Augusto Fonseca Pascoal,Maria Cristina Thomaz,Pedro Henrique Watanabe,Urbano dos Santos Ruiz,Alessandro Borges Amorim,Everton Daniel,Susana Zaneti da Silva +6 more
TL;DR: Among the fiber sources, purified cellulose in piglet diets promotes better performance of animals, due to the modulation of the small intestine microbiota, with lower E. coli occurrence resulting in higher villus density.
Effects of xylanase supplementation to wheat-based diets on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and gut microbes in weanling pigs
TL;DR: Xylanase supplementation increased growth performance and nutrient digestibility up to 2,000 U/kg and decreased the richness of gut bacteria but diminished the growth of harmful pathogenic bacteria, such as Escherichia-Shigella, in the colon.
