Zusammenfassung
-
Tannins are commonly considered as anti-nutritional factors in monogastric animals nutrition with attributed negative effects on feed intake, nutrient digestibility and performance. Diarrhea among post-weaning piglets is one of the most important health conditions in pigs farming. Decades of extensive antibiotics use in prevention and therapy of infections in animals significantly contributed to spread of antimicrobial resistance, and in consequence restrictions on their use in farming. The aim of this project is to address the paradigm of the anti-nutritional properties of tannins by verification of the general hypothesis, that specific hydrolysable and condensed tannins contained in LSH and FBP (both plant materials available in large quantities) can improve intestinal homeostasis, beneficially influence intestinal microbiota as well as prevent piglets from ETEC infections, without expressing negative effects on their health status.
