Piglet gut health promoted by pectin

摘要

Diarrhea is a reoccurring problem in young animals, and even under good conditions farms will lose piglets during rearing. Plant-derived feed components containing high fiber content are well-discussed in animal husbandry because of their potential to prevent diarrhea. The feed industry is focusing on their use more due to their potential to stabilize the intestine and their ability to prevent the application of additional therapeutic treatment in case of diarrhea.
