Roles of fibre fermentation in monogastric animals
Increasing post-ileal fibre fermentation in monogastric animals creates a number of beneficial effects such as increased nutritive value of feedstuffs and augmented intestinal barrier function. Intestinal barrier function is largely influen ...

Meta-analysis shows improved zootechnical and economic performance in piglets fed AGP-free diets
A meta-analysis conducted by Trouw Nutrition, a Nutreco company, found that a feed additive containing a synergistic blend of organic acids, medium chain fatty acids, patented alkyl esters of MCFA's, target release butyrates and a p ...

The potential for immunoglobulins and host defense peptides (HDPs) to reduce the use of antibiotics in animal production
Innate defense mechanisms are aimed at quickly containing and removing infectious microorganisms and involve local stromal and immune cell activation, neutrophil recruitment and activation and the induction of host defense peptides (defensi ...

The immunomodulatory functions and molecular mechanism of a new bursal heptapeptide (BP7) in immune responses and immature B cells
The bursa of Fabricius (BF) is the acknowledged central humoural immune organ unique to birds and plays a vital role in B lymphocyte development. In addition, the unique molecular immune features of bursal-derived biological peptides involv ...

A genome-wide association study for natural antibodies measured in blood of Canadian Holstein cows
Natural antibodies (NAb) are an important component of the innate immune system, and fight infections as a part of the first line defence. NAb are poly-reactive and can respond non-specifically to antigens. Therefore, NAb may be a key trait ...

Dairy heifers naturally exposed to Fasciola hepatica develop a Type 2 immune response and concomitant suppression of leukocyte proliferation
Fasciola hepatica is a parasitic trematode of global importance in livestock. Control strategies reliant on anthelmintics are unsustainable due to the emergence of drug resistance. Vaccines are under development, but efficacies are variable ...

Cathelicidins PMAP-36, LL-37 and CATH-2 are similar peptides with different modes of actio
Host defense peptides (HDPs) play a pivotal role in innate immunity and have, in addition to antimicrobial activity, also important immunomodulatory functions. Bacteria are less likely to develop resistance against HDPs because these peptid ...

Training animal innate immune system to achieve a quicker immune response
For centuries, immunological memory was presumed to be exclusively carried out by the adaptive immune system, by which T and B cells were deemed to be solely capable of recognising an already seen pathogen. That's despite the fact that ...

Effect of nutritional immunomodulation and heat stress during the dry period on subsequent performance of cows
Heat stress in dairy cows during the dry period impairs milk yield in the next lactation. Feeding OmniGen-AF (OG; Phibro Animal Health Corp., Teaneck, NJ) to lactating cows during heat stress may increase dry matter intake (DMI) and lowers ...

Glycans from Fasciola hepatica modulate the host immune response and TLR-induced maturation of dendritic cells
Helminths express various carbohydrate-containing glycoconjugates on their surface, and they release glycan-rich excretion/secretion products that can be very important in their life cycles, infection and pathology. Recent evidence suggests ...

Immunomodulatory effects of Echinacea and Pelargonium on the innate and adoptive immunity in calves
Immunomodulatory effects of Echinacea purpurae and Pelargonium sidoides in calves were investigated. Sixty 25-day-old nonvaccinated calves living in integrated farm unit were randomly selected and were divided into 5 treatment groups consis ...
