Abstract
In summary, dietary fibers with different degrees of fermentability prevented S. typhimurium-infection-associated symptoms in piglets, maintained intestinal structure and function, enhanced innate and adapted immune response, and its addition to formula, could provide a cost-effective means to prevent and/or reduce bacterially-induced diarrheal diseases in neonates.
