Effects of Deoxynivalenol Detoxifier on Growth Performance, Blood Biochemical Indices, and Microbiota Composition of Piglets.

Deoxynivalenol (DON), also known as vomitoxin, has a high detection and exceeding rate in feed and is prone to causing symptoms such as loss of appetite, weight loss, vomiting, and diarrhoea in animals, which brings great harm to the aquaculture industry. The common mycotoxin adsorbents have low adsorption rates for DON, and the use of biological methods to remove DON in feeds has gradually become a research trend. One hundred and twenty crossbred barrows were randomly divided into four groups, which included the normal diet group (CON), normal diet + detoxifier group (Det), DON-polluted diet group (DON), and DON-polluted diet + DON detoxifier group (DON + Det); the experiment lasted for 28 d.

A study on the mechanism of school support to improve school adjustment of rural left-behind children--Analysis based on CEPS (2013-2014) data.

School adjustment is related to the educational achievements and future career development of rural left-behind children. School support is an important institutional measure to promote the school adjustment of rural left-behind children in China. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on CEPS data, this paper analyzed the effects of school support on rural left-behind children's school adjustment, and found that: (1) school support effectively improves rural left-behind children's school adjustment ability; (2) school support enhances students' school adjustment ability by improving their educational expectation and mental health, especially the effects of teachers' relationship support and school soft environment support are significant; (3) teacher support has a greater effect on students' school adjustment ability than environment support, and soft environment support enhances students' school adjustment ability by improving their mental health, while the impact of hard environment support is weaker.
