  5. 9. Olika administreringsmetoder av probiotika till smågrisar och dess effekt på tillväxt, hälsa och mikrobiota

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Sara Hammarberg; [2019]
    Keywords : Lactobacillus plantarum; mikrobiota; matsmältningskanal; administrering; Lactobacillus reuteri;

    Abstract : Piglets are born without a developed immune system and different types of bacteria colonize the piglets’ gastrointestinal tract directly at birth. Maintaining a healthy microbiota in the intestinal tract is important for the piglet to be resistant to pathogenic bacteria and thus reduce the incidence of diarrhea as well as promoting growth.
