Association between weaning, intestinal health of weaned piglets and the consumption of diets with probiotics and potato protein concentrate
Weaning is a very critical period in the life of the piglet that causes a setback in the development of the digestive organs, resulting in poor feed digestion and the presence of post-weaning diarrhea. Due to the potential prohibition of the use of antibiotics in animal feed as growth promoters, complications are observed that can lead to poor performance and death of recently weaned animals. The use of functional feeds in antibiotic-free diets for newly weaned piglets is practically mandatory to maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract and reduce the presence and severity of post-weaning diarrhea. Probiotic yeasts and potato protein concentrate have antimicrobial actions that can inhibit pathogenic bacteria and favor the presence of a beneficial microbiota that helps maintain intestinal health.
