Short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides enhances intestinal barrier function by attenuating mucosa inflammation and altering colonic microbiota composition of weaning piglets

Short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (scFOS) exert beneficial effects on growth performance and immune function of piglets. However, the effects of scFOS on intestinal integrity of piglets remain to be understood. This study was conducted to investigate the protective effects of scFOS on the intestin...
