Altering Momma Pig’s Diet to Improve Piglet Health and Immunity

Can we improve piglet health by modifying a sow's diet? Can altering a momma pig's nutrition directly enhance the quality of her colostrum, making her piglets healthier and stronger?

Amara Benn, a PhD student in Dr. Carolyn Slupsky's Lab at the University of California, Davis and an Eary College Researcher (ECR) in the Nutrition Pillar at PIG-PARADIGM, is diving into these questions. Her work aims to strengthen piglets' intestinal barriers before weaning through maternal diet modification. 🐷

This research is part of the PIG-PARADIGM's $21.2 million international project that brings together researchers like Dr. Yanhong Liu, Dr. Peng Ji, and other faculty members of the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, UC Davis to address antimicrobial resistance.
