Way to Balance
Intensive Farming Needs and Farm Animal Growth

Intensive Farming Impact

The large-scale intensive raising of pigs and poultry has contributed greatly to the rapid growth of livestock production. It can maximize the production potential of livestock.
 

However, under such conditions, it is impossible to follow the laws of nature and ensure the natural growth of livestock.

                                                                   
 




Gut Development Need

Gut development is an important part of the natural growth process. The period of rapid intestinal development is the young age. Development of gut function during this period shapes long-term gastrointestinal (GI) development, function and health.

Take the intestines of pigs, for example: Early weaning is a significant stressor causing intestinal injury, that alters normal gut development leading to impaired performance and decreased disease resilience. (Adam J. Moeser,Calvin S. Pohl, December 2017)

Bioactive Substances is the Key

There are many natural physiological barriers that help maintain the integrity of the gut, such as Mucus secreted by intestinal cells, Intestinal epithelial cells, Immune cell and etc.

 

People often prevent intestinal diseases and improve animal performance by regulating nutrient absorption and digestion of diets and regulating microecological environment. However, when designing nutritional interventions, priority should be given to improving gastrointestinal conditions and avoiding damage to intestinal structure and function. Bioactive substances can directly enhance gastrointestinal conditions and should be an integral part of the formulation. 

 

Whether AMP, EGF or TFF belong to this class of homologous bioactive substances, which are of great help to improve intestinal structure and function,so as to effectively help the growth of farmed animals and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

Commensal gut microbiota play a fundamental role in the development and regulation of host immunity in mammals. Disruption of the microbiota–immune balance leads to dysbiosis, which is closely associated with increased disease susceptibility. In contrast, the establishment of a stable and defined microbial community supports the maturation of immune functions. Among these, lactic acid bacteria have attracted significant attention due to their strain-specific ability to modulate immune responses and enhance host defense mechanisms.

Pigs are the only animal susceptible to human rotavirus (HRV)-induced diarrhea, making them an important model for studying host-microbe interactions. Studies in gnotobiotic pigs show that probiotic colonization with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Bifidobacterium animalis Bb12 enhances HRV-specific IgA responses and reduces diarrhea severity. Similarly, colonization with the simplified Bristol microbiota upregulates serum IgA and IgM levels, supporting intestinal and systemic immune development in newborn pigs. These findings highlight the potential of gut microbiota interventions to modulate immunity and improve pig health.

Antibiotics are widely used in pig production to prevent disease and promote growth. However, their use can disrupt the gut microbiota, reduce beneficial bacteria, and increase opportunistic pathogens. These changes may affect intestinal health, immune function, and the spread of antibiotic resistance genes.
