Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how supplementing sow feed with the probiotic Bacillus licheniformis affects the milk microbiome and piglet health.
- It found that this supplementation increased beneficial bacteria and decreased harmful ones in sow colostrum, improving microbiome diversity and function.
- The research suggests that maintaining a healthy milk microbiome through supplementation could enhance nutrient delivery and immunity for better piglet development.
High-prolific sows have a high incidence of stillbirth and asphyxiated piglets due to calcium deficiencies. Calcium is important for enhancing farrowing efficacy and colostrum production. Calcium chloride (CaCl), an acidogenic compound that lowers dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD), promotes calcium mobilization, thereby mitigating the risk of calcium deficiency.

Glutamine plays an important role in enhancing glutathione (GSH) synthesis. It acts as an effective antioxidant in semen and provides intracellular defense to sperm against oxidative stress.

This study investigated the metabolomic profiles of mammary secretion in purebred Black Bengal goats and their relationships with litter size and parity number.

This study examined IGF-1 and leptin levels at varying ages and gestation periods for their correlation with Black Bengal goat kids' growth during the preweaning phase.
Materials And Methods: Blood samples were collected from 43 dams with different reproductive cycles and 28 prepubertal goats to measure serum concentrations of IGF-1 and leptin.
