Laminaria japonica polysaccharides improve piglet growth performance

Researchers from China and the United States investigated the effects of adding Laminaria japonica polysaccharides to the piglet diet. They evaluated growth performance, fecal digestive enzyme activity, serum biochemical indices, and free amino acids in weaned piglets. Weaning is a critical stage in the life of piglets. It causes nutritional stress due to sudden cessation of sow’s milk intake as the main source of nutrition for piglets. This dietary change accompanied by the introduction of
