Growth “The progressive net accretion of nutrients and their metabolites, which begins at conception and continues as long as nutrient supply exceeds requirements for the oxidative metabolism and regeneration of existing tissues” – Bell et al. 1987 JAS(Supl. 2):186-212.

The Organ That Controls Nutrient Supply & Why Gut Health is Important The Gut – A Major Metabolic Organ
Gut is 5-7% of body mass but accounts for: • 20-35% of whole body energy expenditure • 20-60% utilization of dietary amino acids
• Gut health is a requirement to ensure feed digestibility,
achieve the optimal intake and realize optimal growth during all phase of pork production
• Optimal digestion and absorption of feed • Absence of gastrointestinal tract illness • ‘Homeostatic’ GI microbiome • Ideal immune status (The gut is largest immune organ) • A state of animal well-being

Factors affecting nutrient “availability” • Digestibility • Absorption of end product of digestion • Metabolism of absorbed products
• Digestibility – probably the most important factor in the
efficiency of feed utilization • Inherent feature of feedstuffs to a large extent
• Absorption and utilization – usually not a major problem but is influenced by the pig (e.g. age, sex, physiological state/health of the gut)

• Dietary changes • Environment • Social interactions
• 45% of weaned pigs no contact with feed in first 15 h • 10% remain with the problem for over 40 h
• Growth depression • Morbidity • Mortality

Postnatal Digestive Development • Rapid transition in digestive function
• Qualitative and quantitative alterations in digestive enzyme secretion occur
• Dietary intake of substrate influences enzyme expression • Alteration in intestinal architecture

Bacterial Diversity in the GI tract • Approximately 800 species found in the swine gut (Looft et
al 2012). • In humans, bacterial cells are estimated to outnumber the host cells
by a factor of ten, and bacterial genes outnumber host genes by a factor of 100 (Savage 1977).

Factors Impacting Gut Barrier

Weaning Negatively Impacts GI Health • Weaning presents simultaneous stressors on
young pigs • Nutritional • Environmental • Psychological
• Post-weaning “growth check” is correlated with changes in gut health.
• The goal at weaning is to reduce the negative impact weaning has on production, disease, morbidity and mortality.

Feed intake is one of main factors affecting gut barrier function

Minimal Feed Intake After Weaning Compromises Gut Barrier Function • Period of temporary starvation after weaning
• Reduce intestinal surface area • Increases intestinal inflammation

Prebiotics* Yeast cell wall derivatives • Oligosaccharide derive from yeast cell wall • Increases pig ADG & ADFI of weanling pigs (Miguel et al., 2004) • Mechanism of action: modification microbiota, anti-adhesive function and inhibition of immune system activation
How does it help with production cost? • Animals remain on feed so they continue to grow • Microbes extract energy from the prebiotic function that can be used in energy maintenance of GI tract in SCFA • Reduces activation of mucosal immune system
*Prebiotics are selectively fermented nondigestible ingredients that allow specific changes in both the luminal microbial population and their activity to promote intestinal health by being fermented to SCFA
