Synopsis
This textbook brings together edited (some revised) papers presented at the 8th Symposium on Digestive Physiology in Pigs held in Uppsala in June 2000. It contains papers from leading scientists from around the world in this increasingly important and complex subject area.
Among other features it contributes to the development of the scientific study of effects of nutrition on gut physiology. The book also creates a platform for intelligent future practice and research and increases our knowledge of how to optimize the nutrition of suckling, weaner and finisher pigs to help prevent diet-related gastrointestinal disease conditions.
- Development and function of the gastrointestinal tract
- Possible interactions between nutrition and
- Factors influencing gut maturation and function in prenatal and postnatal pigs
- The gastrointestinal immune system and its implications for health maintenance
- Nutrient utilization and metabolism by the gastrointestinal tract
- Dietary and animal related factors affecting digestion and digestive secretions
- Influence of the gut microflora on the digestive processes
- Influence of nutrition on the gut microflora
- Role of the gut microflora in the prevention of disease
