Weaning had been shown to be a stressful period. The weaning age had declined over time in order to increase sow productivity and the fact that weaning under modern-day commercial conditions inflicted stress （environmental, nutritional and psychological/social） on pigs and associated with marked changes in gastrointestinal tract （GIT） physiology, microbiology and immunology. However, the early weaning resulted in post-weaning diarrhea, mainly related to intestinal dysbiosis during this rapid adaptation to the new diet. The environment and feed had influence on physiology, gut morphology, immune system and diseases of weaned piglets.展开更多

Similar to group of antibiotic and herbal medicine, fermented herbal medicine was additived to basic diet in four trials with eight replications per trial, determining effect on the growth performance, biochemical and immunological indicators. Compared with the control group, the group of fermented herbal compound had higher Average Daily Gain（ADG）, higher content of immune globulin M（IgM） and immune globulin A（Ig A）（p〈0.05）. There was no significant effect on the indicators of ADG, Average Daily Feed Intake（ADFI） and diarrhea rate（p〉0.05） between groups of antibiotic and fermented herbal were observed; however, the concentrations of Total Protein（TP）, Growth Hormone（GH）, IgG, IgM and IgA significantly increased（p〈0.05） compared with the control group.展开更多
