Effect of dietary fiber and threonine content on intestinal barrier function in pigs challenged with either systemic E. coli lipopolysaccharide or enteric Salmonella Typhimurium

The independent and interactive effects of dietary fiber (DF) and threonine (Thr) were investigated in growing pigs challenged with either systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or enteric Typhimurium (ST) to characterise their effect on intestinal barrier function. In experiment 1, intestinal barrier fu...

Description
Summary:The independent and interactive effects of dietary fiber (DF) and threonine (Thr) were investigated in growing pigs challenged with either systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or enteric Typhimurium (ST) to characterise their effect on intestinal barrier function. In experiment 1, intestinal barrier function was assessed via oral lactulose and mannitol (L:M) gavage and fecal mucin analysis in pigs challenged with LPS and fed low fiber (LF) or high fiber (HF) diets with graded dietary Thr. Urinary lactulose recovery and L:M ratio increased (
