Maternal laminarin supplementation decreases Salmonella Typhimurium shedding and improves intestinal health in piglets following an experimental challenge with S. Typhimurium post-weaning
2017-01-01
Abstract excerpt
During the period immediate post-weaning (PW), piglets become vulnerable to pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella Typhimurium, the most common Salmonella serovar.
