piglet colon flora THA
Thanatin (THA) is a natural defensin extracted from insects that exhibits broad-spectrum activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and viruses. However, its application in weaned piglets remains poorly documented. This study aimed to demonstrate the effect of dietary THA supplementation on Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88-challenged weaned piglets.
