Mannooligosaccharides modulate mucin O-glycan–gut microbe interactions and preserve the intestinal barrier in weaned piglets

The intestinal microbiota and mucosal barrier are closely intertwined, with mucin O-glycans playing a key role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. However, how nutrition regulates mucin O-glycans remains poorly understood. This study investigated the regulatory effects of mannooligosaccharides (MOS) on mucin secreti...

Physiological Function of Inulin and Its Application in Livestock Production.

Inulin is a natural, plant-derived soluble dietary fibre that functions as an indigestible carbohydrate and acts as a prebiotic. Inulin is fermented by the gut microbiota into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the rumen of ruminants and in the hindgut of monogastric animals. These SCFAs exert biological effects throug...

L-Proline Supplementation Alleviates Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Intestinal Inflammation in Weaned Rabbits by Modulating Mucosal Barrier Function and Gut Microbiota

Simple Summary Weaning is a critical and stressful period in commercial rabbit production. During this period, young rabbits are highly susceptible to intestinal inflammation and diarrhea, which can lead to growth retardation, increased mortality, and substantial economic losses. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component d...
