Probiotic Roles of in Piglets: Considering Aspects of Intestinal Barrier Function.

China, as the global leader in pork production and consumption, is faced with challenges in ensuring sustainable and wholesome growth of the pig industry while also guaranteeing meat food safety amidst the ban on antibiotics usage in animal feed. The focus of the pig industry lies in guaranteeing piglet health and enhancing overall production performance through nutrition regulation. (), a new type of probiotic, possesses characteristics such as heat resistance, acid resistance, and bile-salt tolerance, meaning it has potential as a feed additive. Previous studies have demonstrated that has a probiotic effect on piglets and can serve as a substitute for antibiotics. The objective of this study was to review the probiotic role of in the production of piglets, specifically focusing on intestinal barrier function. Through this review, we explored the probiotic effects of on piglets from the perspective of intestinal health. That is, promotes intestinal health by regulating the functions of the mechanical barrier, chemical barrier, immune barrier, and microbial barrier of piglets, thereby improving the growth of piglets. This review can provide a reference for the rational utilization and application of in swine production.
