Dietary supplementation of Bifidobacterium longum strain AH1206 increases its cecal abundance and elevates intestinal interleukin-10 expression in the neonatal piglet

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 60, 116–122.

By: T. Herfel n, S. Jacobi n, X. Lin n, Z. Jouni*, M. Chichlowski *, C. Stahl n, J. Odle n 

Contributors: T. Herfel n, S. Jacobi n, X. Lin n, Z. Jouni*, M. Chichlowski *, C. Stahl n, J. Odle n 

author keywords: Bifidobacteria; Probiotic; Infant; Intestinal health; Immune system; IL-10
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / microbiology; Animals; Animals, Newborn; Bifidobacterium; Cecum / microbiology; Colony Count, Microbial; Dietary Supplements; Immunoglobulin G / blood; Immunoglobulin M / blood; Interleukin-10 / genetics; Interleukin-10 / metabolism; Probiotics / administration & dosage; Swine; Weight Gain
TL;DR: Dietary supplementation with B. longum (AH1206) may be safe for human infants based on a lack of growth, development or deleterious immune-related effects observed in piglets, based on findings in the suckling piglet model. (via Semantic Scholar)

2013 journal article

Stabilized rice bran improves weaning pig performance via a prebiotic mechanism

Journal of Animal Science, 91(2), 907–913.

By: T. Herfel n, S. Jacobi n, X. Lin n, E. Van Heugten  n, V. Fellner n  & J. Odle n 

Contributors: T. Herfel n, S. Jacobi n, X. Lin n, E. Heugten  n, V. Fellner n  & J. Odle n 

author keywords: antibiotics; gastrointestinal; microbiota; stabilized rice bran; swine
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / analysis; Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena; Animals; Diet / veterinary; Intestines / anatomy & histology; Oryza / chemistry; Prebiotics; Swine / growth & development
TL;DR: SRB improved the efficiency of nutrient utilization in nursery diets lacking antibiotics and tended to increase intestinal bifidobacteria concentrations, indicating that SRB may exert beneficial prebiotic effects in weanling pigs. (via Semantic Scholar)

By: T. Herfel n, S. Jacobi n, X. Lin n, V. Fellner n , D. Walker*, Z. Jouni*, J. Odle n 

Contributors: T. Herfel n, S. Jacobi n, X. Lin n, V. Fellner n , D. Walker*, Z. Jouni*, J. Odle n 

MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Newborn / growth & development; Bifidobacterium / drug effects; Bifidobacterium / growth & development; Cytokines / drug effects; Cytokines / genetics; Cytokines / metabolism; Food, Fortified; Glucans / administration & dosage; Glucans / analysis; Humans; Infant; Infant Food; Infant Formula / chemistry; Intestines / microbiology; Lactic Acid / analysis; Lactobacillus / drug effects; Lactobacillus / growth & development; Metagenome; Milk, Human / chemistry; Models, Animal; Oligosaccharides / administration & dosage; Oligosaccharides / analysis; Prebiotics; Propionates / analysis; RNA / isolation & purification; RNA, Messenger; Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction; Swine
TL;DR: PDX enrichment of infant formula resulted in a prebiotic effect by increasing ileal lactobacilli and propionic and lactic acid concentrations and decreasing pH with associated alterations in ileale cytokine expression. (via Semantic Scholar)
