Fig. 1From: Alginate oligosaccharide-induced intestinal morphology, barrier function and epithelium apoptosis modifications have beneficial effects on the growth performance of weaned pigsEffects of alginate oligosaccharide on the serum D-xylose concentration of weaned pigs. Values are means (8 pigs/treatment), with standard errors represented by vertical bars. *P < 0.05 (indicates that the serum D-xylose concentration is significantly higher in the AOS group than CON group). CON, control (a corn-soybean basal diet); AOS, alginate oligosaccharide (the basal diet supplemented with 100 mg/kg alginate oligosaccharide)Back to article page
