How does glucose oxidase reduce post-weaning diarrhoea in piglets?

A team of Chinese researchers evaluated the potential of glucose oxidase as an antibiotic alternative to reduce diarrhoea and improve gut health in post-weaning piglets. They published their findings in Veterinary Quarterly.  In modern pig production systems, weaning stress may lead to intestinal disorders such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and barrier dysfunction, which contribute to the occurrence of diarrhoea in piglets. On the other hand, due to the prohibition of antibiotics usage
