Dietary nucleotide-rich yeast extract regulates growth performance, microbiota composition and inflammatory response to lipopolysaccharide challenge in weanling pigs.
A total of 128 weanling pigs (initial body weight, 7.5 ± 0.79 kg) were used to evaluate the effects of nucleotide (NUCL) supplementation to an adequate or low crude protein (CP) diet on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, gut microbiota composition, metabolic and inflammatory response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS...
