Abstract

Gut health, which influences cffective nutrient absorption, stable intestinal microbial community and good immune function and so on. The gut health depends on diet, intestinal mucous membrane and intestinal microbial community. Dietary fiber (DF) is a mixture with complex composition and structure such as ellulose, hemicellulose, pectin and lignin and so on. DF may have positive effects such as to improve intestinal nutrients absorption, decrease intestinal pH, ameliorate the proportion of beneficial and potentially pathogenic bacteria, optimize intestinal microbial community composition and enhance mucosal barrier function and so on. The physiological impact of DF will be determined by the fiber properties and may differ considerably between fiber sources. This review summarized classification and characteristics of DF, and its influence on nutrition and immunologic function with a goal to promote dietary fiber utilization in pig feed industry.
