| dc.description.abstract | Modern farming continues to intensify with much higher demands for production animals.
Consequently, the crowding and stress associated with intensive farming practices inherent
in large-scale swine production yield a high incidence of intestinal infections caused by E.
coli and Salmonella Typhimurium. These pathogens can induce oxidative stress and
compromise the intestinal barrier function, resulting in diminished production, the
emergence of clinical symptoms, or even mortality. | en_US |
