DIABOULARD: A Phytogenic Antidiarrheal Supplement Revolutionizing Piglet Gut Health

The pig intestine is home to a dynamic microbial community that has a symbiotic interaction with the host and forms a complex ecosystem that is critical to the pig's nutritional, physiological, and immunological functions. To meet production goals in the swine industry, piglets are weaned early and abruptly, which imposes enormous stress, that causes perturbations in the gut microbiota, host physiology, and immune function which lowers the defences against pathogen entry, leading to an increased risk of enteric diseases like neonatal diarrhoea (ND) and post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD)) . Common causes leading to development of enteric diseases includes Escherichia coli?(E. coli) , Clostridial enteritis, Coccidia?, transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea), salmonellosis, other causes include rotavirus, cryptosporidiosis and?Brachyspira hyodysenteriae.

Clinical symptoms depend upon the type of diarrhoea involved, age of the piglet and severity diarrhoea that includes yellow- watery diarrhoea, shivering, vomiting, dehydration, sunken eyes, leathery skin, and mortality.?

The high level of zinc oxide used to prevent and reduce the development of diarrhoea can lead to toxicity in animals, bioaccumulation and may contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance. Managing dietary changes, avoiding sudden transitions, and ensuring feed quality can contribute to improve gut health in piglets, reducing chances of digestive issues. Given low drug residual contamination and low environmental pollution, feed-related measures are being highly used. In pigs, supplementation of organic acids, probiotics, and essential oils via feed can improve performance, and reduce infections due to enteric pathogens.

DIABOULARD is phytogenic antidiarrheal supplement for pigs which can help suppress diarrhoea-causing bacteria and their enterotoxins. It? contains chosen medium-chain fatty acids with anti-diarrheal effects and Saccharomyces boulardii which acts as probiotic. These components work together to prevent and treat conditions like ND and PWD caused by bacterial overgrowth or viral infections along with nutritional diarrhoea and improves gut health in piglets.??
