Bovine colostrum improves intestinal function following formula-induced gut inflammation in preterm pigs
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › peer-review
Only few hours of formula feeding may induce proinflammatory responses and predispose to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm pigs. We hypothesized that bovine colostrum, rich in bioactive factors, would improve intestinal function in preterm pigs following an initial exposure to formula feeding after some days of total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
