Fermentation of both dietary fiber (DF) and protein in the pig intestine is a matter of interest
because of their potential beneficial or harmful effects on gut health and on the environment …

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 …

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of total dietary fiber level on nutrient
digestibility and the relationship between apparent total tract digestibility of total dietary fiber …

Dietary fiber (DF), divided into soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF),
has attracted increasing attention in the field of pig nutrition. Although DF reduces nutrient …

The physiological role of the gastrointestinal microbiota has become an important subject of
nutrition research in pigs in the past years, and the importance of intestinal microbial activity …
