Pros and cons of phage therapy, probiotics and postbiotics as strategies to control post-weaning diarrhea in pigs
Bacteriophages, probiotics, postbiotics and vaccines offer potential as alternatives to antibiotics to control E. coli associated challenges in pigs. But such additives need additional well-designed experiments and field-based work, finds a new review. “Further investigation into these additives is required, and upon a deeper understanding of the mechanisms at play, this strategy may potentially lead to a reduction of pathogen adhesion and aid in pathogen control upon colonization,” according to the animal scientists participating in this review, which was p...
