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.

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.

Supplementation of piglets with nutrient-dense complex milk replacer improves intestinal development and microbial fermentation
A. de Greeff,J. W. Resink,H. M. J. van Hees,Lisette Ruuls,G. J. Klaassen,S. M. G. Rouwers,Norbert Stockhofe-Zurwieden +6 more
TL;DR: Providing sow-fed piglets with NDM before weaning stimulates intestinal proliferation, leading to increased circular growth and Nutrient-dense complex milk replacer supplementation might help piglets through the transition period at weaning by increased BW and increased capacity for uptake of nutrients.
Effects of different creep feed types on pre-weaning and post-weaning performance and gut development
TL;DR: Highly digestible creep feed improved pre-weaning performance, but feed familiarity and grain-based creep feedimproved post- weaning performance.
Dietary supplementation with a nucleotide-rich yeast extract modulates gut immune response and microflora in weaned pigs in response to a sanitary challenge.

TL;DR: In conclusion, supplementing the NRYE to piglets under unsanitary conditions improved ileal immune response by upregulating inflammatory cytokines, and positively modulated proliferation of beneficial gut bacteria and suppression of harmful ones in both clean and unclean rooms.
Evaluation of multi-microbe probiotics prepared by submerged liquid or solid substrate fermentation and antibiotics in weaning pigs
J. Y. Choi,P. L. Shinde,S.L. Ingale,Jin Soo Kim,Y. W. Kim,KwangYeol Kim,I.K. Kwon,Byung-Jo Chae +7 more
TL;DR: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of multi-microbe probiotics prepared by submerged liquid (LF) and solid substrate fermentation (SF) methods and different antibiotics in weaning pigs, showing improved results in pigs fed PC and probiotic diets.
Relevance of functional properties of dietary fibre in diets for weanling pigs
F. Molist,M. van Oostrum,José Francisco Pérez,Gonzalo Gonzalez Mateos,Charles M. Nyachoti,P. J. van der Aar +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence presented in this review indicates that moderate levels of insoluble fibre sources preferably as coarse particle size and when pigs have a compromised health status, might have positive effects promoting gut health during the first two weeks after weaning.
