Several lines of evidence suggest that brain function and behaviour are influenced by
microbial metabolites. Key products of the microbiota are short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) …

At present, substantial amounts of low-cost, fibrous co-products are incorporated into pig
diets to reduce the cost of raising swine. However, diets that are rich in fiber are of low …

Many livestock and aquaculture feeds compete for resources with food production.
Increasing the use of food system by-products and residues as feed could reduce this …

World aquaculture is the fastest growing food-producing sector in the world. Globally,
aquaculture is expanding into new directions, intensifying and diversifying. With increasing …

Dietary inclusion of fermentable carbohydrates (fCHO) is reported to reduce large intestinal
formation of putatively toxic metabolites derived from fermentable proteins (fCP). However …

The objective of this work was to measure the apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and the
apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of dietary fiber in different sources of distillers dried …

Fibres from a variety of sources are a common constituent of pig feeds. They provide a
means to utilise locally-produced plant materials which are often a by-product of the food or …

In pigs, high protein diets have been related to post-weaning diarrhoea, which may be due
to the production of protein fermentation metabolites that were shown to have harmful effects …

In the tropics, a large number of smallholder farms contribute significantly to food security by
raising pigs and poultry for domestic consumption and for sale on local markets. The high …

Finishing pigs can adapt to high-fiber diet smoothly according to the production performance
and their intestinal microbiota through a 28-day trial or longer. However, it is unclear, at …
