Table 2 The application of probiotic L. reuteri in pigs
From: Study and use of the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri in pigs: a review
Strain | Dose | Animal | Significant results | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
L. reuteri I5007 | 6 × 109 CFU/d | newborn piglets | increased average daily gain; reduced diarrhea incidence; affected the colonic microbial communities , in particular, reduced numbers of Clostridium sp; reduced mRNA expression of IL-1β in the ileum | [46] |
L. reuteri I5007 | 2× 109 CFU/d | weaned pigs | increased weight gain and feed conversion; decreased the occurrence of diarrhea; enhanced T-cell differentiation and induced cytokine expression in the ileum | [47] |
L. reuteri I5007 | 2× 109 CFU/d | weaned pigs | had faster growth and higher feed intakes; improved the anti-oxidative defence system and alleviated damage caused by diquat | [50] |
L. reuteri I5007 | 5.8 × 107 CFU/g | weaned pigs | increased weight gain, feed intake and apparent crude protein digestibility; increased serum specific anti-OVA IgG level | [52] |
Lactobacilli complex | 105 CFU/g | weaned pigs | increased weight gain and feed intake compared with carbadox; prevented diarrhea; decreased E. coli and aerobe counts, increased Lactobacilli and anaerobe counts in digesta and mucosa | [16] |
L. reuteri BSA131 | 2× 106, 2× 108 CFU/g | weaned pigs | improved weight gain and feed conversion; decreased the number of enterobacteria in the feces | [12] |
L. reuteri X-1 | 108 CFU/g | weaned pigs | improved weight gain and feed conversion; decreased serum IgG and IgM concentrations, incresed serum DAO and D-lactate concentrations | [51] |
L. reuteri I5007 | 1.02 × 108 CFU/g | growing pigs | increased total antioxidant capacity | [35] |
L. reuteri I5007 | 108 CFU/g | weaned pigs | increaed weight gain, neither body weights nor weight gains differed between the L. reuteri and aureomycin groups; alleviated weaning stress syndrome | [48] |
L. reuteri and L. plantarum complex | 106 CFU/g | weaned pigs | increased apparent total tract digestibility of nitrogen, gross energy, and fecal Lactobacillus concentration; decreased fecal gas emission, diarrhea score, and E. coli concentration | [78] |
L. reuteri 3S7 and L. plantarum 4.1 | 1010 CFU/d | sows and piglets | were found in the faeces; decreased the population of Enterobacteriaceae; decreased β-glucuronidase activity of all pigs | [79] |
