Abstract
At weaning marked changes in piglet small intestine morphology occur, characterised by a dramatic reduction in villous height. Oral administration oflgG and IGF-I may improve gut integrity, growth and function. In the present experiment, it was hypothesised that providing a supplementary source of IgG and IGF-I for piglets during the lactation period would improve gut morphology, and may reduce the impact of weaning on gut integrity.
