The supplementation of a corn/barley-based diet with bacterial xylanase did not prevent diarrhoea of ETEC susceptible piglets, but favoured the persistence of Lactobacillus reuteri in the gut

The aim of this study was to test the use of bacterial xylanase in weaning diets based on corn and barley by evaluating its impact on the growth performance, intestinal microbiota and on some indicators of digestive homeostasis.
