AI Article Synopsis
- * While there were no significant differences in overall performance between the sow groups, piglets with low to medium birth weights consumed more colostrum when their mothers were fed rye bran.
- * The findings suggest that rye bran does not negatively affect sow and piglet performance, but further research is needed to explore its potential benefits.
Article Abstract
From a cost and sustainability perspective, the use of by-products such as rye bran in sow diets is of particular interest. Rye bran has valuable ingredients that have potential benefits for the gut health of sows. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of including 15% rye bran in the sows' feed on the performance of sows and piglets. The feeding started one week before the farrowing date and ended at weaning. Performance was evaluated by measuring sow (n = 175) and piglet body weight (n = 1372) and sows' backfat thickness (n = 80). These data were additionally used to calculate the colostrum intake of the suckling piglets and the sows' milk production. It was found that there were no differences in the performance parameters between the experimental and control groups. However, this study showed that the piglets with light birth weight (LBW (<1000 g)) and medium birth weight (MBW (1000-1500 g) consumed more colostrum when the sows were fed rye bran (LBW: C/R 203.0 ± 39.2 g/214.3 ± 35.9 g; MBW: 291.3 ± 39.0 g/298.5 ± 36.4 g). It can be concluded that including 15% rye bran in the feed of lactating sows has no obvious negative effects on the performance of sows and piglets. Further studies are needed to evaluate the possible positive effects of rye bran.

Article Synopsis
- Acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation can produce bio-based 1-butanol from agricultural byproducts, which are low-cost and available year-round, addressing the issue of high feedstock costs in bio-butanol production.
- Milling byproducts like wheat red dog (WRD) and rye second flour (RSF) were found to contain high levels of glucan, primarily starch, making them suitable substrates for ABE fermentation by solventogenic clostridia.
- The strain Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 performed the best in producing butanol, achieving titers up to 9 g/L in semi-continuous fermentation with a combination of WRD and rye waste,

This study focuses on the resilience of gut microbiota during a five-month multi-interventional nutrition trial. The modulatory effects of beta-glucan, rye bran and two dietary fiber mixtures on the fecal pH and compositional changes of the microbiome of healthy subjects were studied. To analyze the stability of intestinal microbiota, we collected an extensive dataset of sequential fecal samples (23-29 from each participant) during a week of the base, beta-glucan consumption and wash-out periods accompanied by the collection of daily food diary data.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how different gut microbiota, or "enterotypes," affect blood glucose responses to whole grain rye in Chinese adults, with a focus on identifying a model linking enterotypes to metabolic outcomes.
- Conducted over 12 weeks, the trial involved 156 participants consuming either fermented rye bran or refined wheat, revealing that those who responded positively to rye had different gut microbiota profiles compared to non-responders.
- The findings emphasize the role of gut microbiota in nutrition interventions, suggesting that understanding these enterotypes can enhance the effectiveness of whole grain rye in lowering blood glucose levels and potentially preventing type 2 diabetes.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers microencapsulated honeydew honey and royal jelly into biopolymeric microparticles made from rye bran heteropolysaccharides to create controlled-release systems that maintain the beneficial properties of these bioactive compounds.
- These microcapsules, produced via spray-drying, were found to withstand stomach acidity and digestive enzymes, enhancing the growth and adhesion of beneficial probiotic bacteria.
- Fermentation of the microcapsules in the large intestine resulted in a significant increase (39.2%) in the production of short-chain fatty acids, indicating potential new uses for these encapsulated bee products in nutraceuticals.
