The effects of administering Tonisity Px~(TM) isotonic protein drink to piglets on gut microbiota as assessed through 16S rRNA sequencing

摘要

Tonisity Px is an isotonic protein drink which is administered to piglets from as early as day 2 of life. When administered to piglets between days 2 and 8 of life and peri-weaning, Tonisity Px has been shown to modulate intestinal development by increasing villus height. Similarly, administration of Tonisity Px to piglets has resulted in reduced pre-weaning mortality and improved post-weanins growth performance.
