Effect of fructan rich feedstuffs on intestinal pathogens in post-weaned pigs
The overall objective is to investigate the influence of fructan rich feedstuffs (FRF) on experimental helminth infections in weaned pigs, post-weaning diarrhoea related to experimental challenge with Escherichia coli and on the presence of Campylobacter
- To investigate how FRF may be used to help eliminate helminth infections (Ascaris suum and Trichuris suis) around weaning, when pigs are moved from the farrowing paddocks to other facilities
- To investigate if and how FRF influence the incidence of post-weaning diarrhoea in pigs caused by Escherichia coli
- To characterize the bacterial community
- To investigate if FRF may influence the presence of Campylobacter
