Interplay of microbiota and gut function in the developing pig – Innovative avenues towards sustainable animal production (INTERPLAY)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
"Low input farming occurs under non-SPF (specific pathogen free) conditions. The European ban on in-feed antibiotics exposes the piglets to a higher microbial environmental pressure. The postnatal priming of piglets with a diverse microbiota may affect the development of the piglet’s host-defense and gut functionality. By reversal, the piglets developing host-defense may affect the development of ...
