Comparative analysis of the effectiveness of probiotic enterococcus strains in gastroenteritis in piglets

Abstract

According to a number of authors, a sharp change in the type of feeding and the effects of stress factors in piglets after weaning lead to disorders not only of metabolism, but also of membrane digestion, which further contributes to a decrease in body resistance and the occurrence of various diseases of the digestive organs.In the course of our study, it was found that the use of probiotic strains Enterococcus faecium L-3 and Enterococcus faecium 1-35 for the treatment of gastroenteritis in piglets during weaning had a similar effect on restoring intestinal enzymatic activity. In piglets that were not treated with probiotics (control 1), enzymatic activity in the digestive tract was only partially normalized during the study. We also evaluated some parameters of the ongoing metabolic processes in the body of weaning piglets by studying the biochemical blood parameters of the experimental groups after prescribing the probiotic strain Enterococcus faecium L-3 (experiment 1) and Enterococcus faecium 1-35 (experiment 2) comparing them with those of the control group of animals.
