Advanced pig microbiome integrity

In commercial production, pigs’ microbial integrity is under constant challenge from environmental or biological factors. Stressful incidences (e.g. weaning) or microbial pressure by pathogens such as Brachyspira spp., Clostridium spp., and Lawsonia intracellularis can easily disrupt intestinal function and result in severe diarrhea. Furthermore, the overuse of antibiotics has led to increased bacterial resistance, weaker immunity, suboptimal feed utilization, and reduced microbiota robustness.
