USE OF CATIONIC PEPTIDES AS FEED ADDITIVES TO IMPROVE INNATE IMMUNITY & REDUCE GUT COLONIZATION WITH SALMONELLA AND CAMPYLOBACTER IN WEANED

Objective

1. Determine if the addition of a cationic peptide to the feed formulation of weaned pigs decreases Salmonella and Campylobacter colonization of the pig¿s gut. 2. Investigate the effects of using cationic peptides as feed additives in weaned pig rations on the innate immune response of weaned pigs.
