ABSTRACT Enzyme-supplemented diets can influence the intestinal microbiome in an intricate interplay with the immune system. Therefore, the effects of β-mannanase supplementation in metabolizable energy (ME)-reduced diets containing xylanase were investigated on cytokine concentrations and fecal microbiota profile in lactating sows (n = 60, 248.4 ± 2.4 kg) assigned to a randomized block design with three dietary treatments: a diet containing xylanase (Control; reduction of 40 kcal of ME/kg, CD40), CD40 + β-mannanase (0.3 g/kg) and a reduction of 45 […]
