Abstract

In pig production, daily gain commonly used to measure the health and growth performance of weaned piglets. At weaning, the piglets is subjected to myriad of stressors (the diet change, separation from mother and littermates, new environment and so on) which cause reduced daily gain. Associated with weaning are marked changes the histology and physiology of the intestinal, such as villous atrophy, crypt hyperplasia and increased permeability of the intestinal mucosa, which cause decreased digestive and absorptive capacity, immune functional decline, contribute to post-weaning diarrhoea and poor growth performance of the weaned pigs. The focus of this review paper was to describe how the early weaning stress impact intestinal mucosa structure and barrier functions in briefly, summarized some markers that could be used as evaluation of intestinal mucosa structure and barrier functions, and listed some feed ingredients or additives which could be used to relieve the damage of weaning stress, in order to provide some help to the production of piglets and study on early weaning stress.

Key words： early weaning; intestinal mucosa structure; barrier function; piglets
