Abstract
BACKGROUND Weaning is a critical phase in the pigs' life and gut health might be compromised. Gluconic acid was shown to be poorly absorbed but readily fermented to butyrate in the gut which in turn can improve gut function. Hence, a total of 144 weaning pigs were fed the experimental diets for 42 days. Three treatments were replicated in 8 pens with 6 piglets each: control; low dietary dose of gluconic acid, 9 g/kg; and high dietary dose of gluconic acid, 18 g/kg. After 21 days, one piglet from each pen was sampled for blood haematology and biochemistry, fore- and hindgut digesta characteristics and microbiota, and distal small intestinal histo-morphological indices and gene expression. RESULTS Feeding gluconic acid enhanced performance in period d 0-14 post-weaning, in particular feed intake was increased (P = 0.028), though the high dose did not show benefits over the low dose. Regarding d 0-42, feed intake was elevated (P = 0.026). At d 21, piglets fed 18 g/kg gluconic acid showed a trend for lower number of total white blood cells (P = 0.060), caused by particularly lower numbers of lymphocytes as compared to control (P = 0.028). Highly reduced plasma urea was found for groups fed gluconic acid, it amounted to 2.6 and 2.6 mmol/L for the 9 and 18 g/kg level, respectively, as compared to 3.8 mmol/L in control (P = 0.003). Feeding gluconic acid promoted the relative abundance of lactic-acid-producing and acid-utilizing bacteria. In distal small intestine, Lactobacillus amylovorus increased substantially from 11.3 to 82.6% for control and gluconic acid 18 g/kg, respectively (P < 0.05). In mid-colon, the butyrate producers Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (P > 0.05) and Megasphaera elsdenii (P < 0.05) showed highest abundance in gluconic acid 18 g/kg. Consequently, in caecum and mid-colon, increased relative molar percentage of butyrate were found, e.g., 10.0, 12.9 et 14.7% in caecum for gluconic acid at 0, 9, and 18 g/kg, respectively (P = 0.046). Elevated mRNA anti-inflammatory cytokine and survival signalling levels in distal small intestinal mucosa were found by feeding gluconic acid which might be mediated by butyrate. CONCLUSIONS Gluconic acid may have potential to alleviate the postweaning growth-check in pigs by altering microbiota composition and fermentation in the gut.

Abstract
Previously, the 5 kDa retentate (5kDaR) of a casein hydrolysate (CH) and yeast β-glucan (YBG) were identified as promising anti-inflammatory dietary supplements for supporting intestinal health in pigs post-weaning. However, their direct effects on intestinal bacterial populations are less well-known. The main objectives of this study were to determine if the increasing concentrations of the CH, 5kDaR and YBG individually, can: (1) alter the bacterial and short-chain fatty acid profiles in a weaned pig faecal batch fermentation assay, and (2) directly influence the growth of selected beneficial (Lactobacillus plantarum, L. reuteri, Bifidobacterium thermophilum) and pathogenic (Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium) bacterial strains in individual pure culture growth assays. The potential of CH as a comparable 5kDaR substitute was also evaluated. The 5kDaR increased lactobacilli counts and butyrate concentration in the batch fermentation assay (P < 0.05) and increased L. plantarum (linear, P < 0.05), L. reuteri (quadratic, P < 0.05) and B. thermophilum (linear, P < 0.05) counts and reduced S. typhimurium (quadratic, P = 0.058) counts in the pure culture growth assays. CH increased butyrate concentration (P < 0.05) in the batch fermentation assay. YBG reduced Prevotella spp. counts (P < 0.05) and butyrate concentration (P < 0.05) in the batch fermentation assay. Both CH and YBG had no major effects in the pure culture growth assays. In conclusion, the 5kDaR had the most beneficial effects associated with increased counts of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera and butyrate production and reduced S. typhimurium counts in vitro indicating its potential to promote gastrointestinal health.

Abstract
Numerous Salmonellaenterica serovars can cause disease and contamination of animal-produced foods. Oligosaccharide-rich products capable of blocking pathogen adherence to intestinal mucosa are attractive alternatives to antibiotics as these have potential to prevent enteric infections. Presently, a wood-derived prebiotic composed mainly of glucose-galactose-mannose-xylose oligomers was found to inhibit mannose-sensitive binding of select SalmonellaTyphimurium and Escherichia coli strains when reacted with Saccharomyces boulardii. Tests for the ability of the prebiotic to prevent binding of a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled S.Typhimurium to intestinal porcine epithelial cells (IPEC-J2) cultured in vitro revealed that prebiotic-exposed GFP-labeled S.Typhimurium bound > 30% fewer individual IPEC-J2 cells than did GFP-labeled S.Typhimurium having no prebiotic exposure. Quantitatively, 90% fewer prebiotic-exposed GFP-labeled S.Typhimurium cells were bound per individual IPEC-J2 cell compared to non-prebiotic exposed GFP-labeled S.Typhimurium. Comparison of invasiveness of S.Typhimurium DT104 against IPEC-J2 cells revealed greater than a 90% decrease in intracellular recovery of prebiotic-exposed S.Typhimurium DT104 compared to non-exposed controls (averaging 4.4 ± 0.2 log10 CFU/well). These results suggest compounds within the wood-derived prebiotic bound to E. coli and S.Typhimurium-produced adhesions and in the case of S.Typhimurium, this adhesion-binding activity inhibited the binding and invasion of IPEC-J2 cells.

Abstract
The inclusion of fibre-rich ingredients in diets is one possible strategy to enhance intestinal fermentation and positively impact gut ecology, barrier and immunity. Nowadays, inulin-type fructans are used as prebiotics in the feed of piglets to manipulate gut ecology for health purposes. Likewise, some by-products could be considered as sustainable and inexpensive ingredients to reduce gut disorders at weaning. In the present study, chicory root and pulp, citrus pulp, rye bran and soya hulls were tested in a three-step in vitro model of the piglet's gastro-intestinal tract combining a pepsin-pancreatin hydrolysis (digestion), a dialysis step using cellulose membranes (absorption) and a colonic batch fermentation (fermentation). The fermentation kinetics, SCFA and microbiota profiles in the fermentation broth were assessed as indicators of prebiotic activity and compared with the ones of inulin. The immunomodulatory effects of fermentation supernatant (FS) were investigated in cultured intestinal porcine epithelial cells (IPEC-J2) by high-throughput quantitative PCR. Chicory root displayed a rapid and extensive fermentation and induced the second highest butyrate ratio after inulin. Citrus pulp demonstrated high acetate ratios and induced elevated Clostridium clusters IV and XIVa levels. Chicory root and pulp FS promoted the intestinal barrier integrity with up-regulated tight and adherens junction gene expressions in comparison with inulin FS. Chicory pulp FS exerted anti-inflammatory effects in cultured IPEC-J2. The novel approach combining an in vitro fermentation model with IPEC-J2 cells highlighted that both chicory root and pulp appear to be promising ingredients and should be considered to promote intestinal health at weaning.

Abstract
The disaccharide and innovative ingredient cellobiose, consisting of two β-glucose molecules linked by a β(1→4) bond is the main component of cellulose. Cellobiose can be used within a wide variety of foodstuffs and functional foods as a low-caloric bulking agent or as a substitute for lactose. For purposes of industrial large-scale production, cellobiose is produced by an enzymatic reaction in which sucrose and glucose are converted to cellobiose and fructose. The goal of this single-arm, dose-escalation study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of cellobiose and to determine the maximum tolerated dose of cellobiose in healthy subjects. Following a baseline period, consecutive cohorts of six subjects each consumed either single doses of 10, 15, 20 and 25 g, while 12 subjects each received multiple doses of 15 g or 20 g cellobiose (twice daily, 14 days). The main recorded parameters were stool consistency, gastrointestinal well-being (Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale) and adverse events. In each highest single/multiple dosage group, some sensitive subjects experienced flatulence, borborygmus and/or transient diarrhoea. A 100% global tolerability rating makes 20 g cellobiose a tolerable dose for single use. For repeated consumption, we propose up to 15 g cellobiose twice daily (92.6% global tolerability rating). Cellobiose is a promising new ingredient with excellent tolerability.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine whether the combination of dietary soluble fiber and cellobiose exerts a synergistic effect on growth performance, health status, fermentation traits, and immune response in rabbits. Six treatments in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement were used: 3 cellobiose concentrations in drinking water (0.0, 7.5, and 15.0 g/L) × 2 dietary levels of soluble fiber (84.0 and 130 g/kg DM, for the low soluble fiber [LSF] and high soluble fiber [HSF] diets, respectively). A total of 318 young rabbits (53/treatment) were weaned at 34 d of age and had ad libitum access to feed and water. At 46 d of age, 9 rabbits/treatment were slaughtered and ileal and cecal digesta were collected to analyze VFA profile and the immune response in the cecal appendix mucosa. At 48 d of age, the cellobiose supplementation was withdrawn and the experimental diets were replaced by a standard commercial diet until 61 d of age. From 34 to 48 d of age, there was a linear increase of mortality with the level of cellobiose in the HSF group (0% vs. 17.1%; P = 0.017). In contrast, a quadratic effect of cellobiose level on mortality was observed in the LSF group, the rabbits offered 7.5-cellobiose showing the lowest mortality (5.7% vs. 21.4%; P = 0.030). Cellobiose level had a quadratic effect on ADFI, ADG, and G:F in this period (P ≤ 0.047), with the 7.5-cellobiose groups having the best growth performance. In contrast, only minor changes on these traits were observed from 48 d of age onwards. Cellobiose level influenced quadratically the ileal VFA concentrations (P = 0.014), showing the maximal value in the 7.5-cellobiose groups. In rabbits fed 7.5-cellobiose-LSF, a change of acetate to propionate, butyrate, and valerate was observed in the ileum. Increasing cellobiose levels reduced linearly cecal VFA concentrations in HSF fed rabbits, but no effect was detected in LSF groups (P = 0.046). The level of soluble fiber increased VFA concentrations in both the ileum (by 22%; P < 0.001), and the cecum (by 11%; P = 0.005). The relative gene expression of IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, iNOS, MUC-1, and toll-like receptors (TLR-2 and TLR-4) in the cecal appendix increased linear and quadratically with increasing levels of cellobiose (P ≤ 0.063). In conclusion, in rabbits fed LSF diets, a dose of 7.5 g cellobiose/L drinking water would be recommended, whereas these levels of cellobiose supplementation should be avoided in rabbits fed HSF diets.
