Abstract :

The study investigated the influence of the administration of Lactobacillus plantarum – Biocenol� LP96 and flaxseed (alone and in combination) on the selected intestinal microflora and on organic acid levels in the digestive tract of weaned piglets. On day 7 after weaning, the supplementation of piglets with mixture of Lactobacillus plantarum and flaxseed had the most pronounced beneficial effect on the gut microbiota when compared with Lactobacillus plantarum and flaxseed groups. The supplementation significantly enhanced the population of jejunal and ileal lactic acid bacteria, caecal total anaerobes and short–chain fatty acids which was manifested by a significant decrease in the pH level in the large intestine. Our results indicated a synbiotic effect of L. plantarum and flaxseed combination on the growth and metabolic activity of selected microflora in weaned piglets.
