Overview

Histological analysis reveals varying gut health and immune responses in swine under different farming systems, highlighting management implications.

Key Points

  • This research aims to compare the histological features of swine colon across two farming methods in Thailand.
  • Colon tissues were collected from swine in intensive management and backyard farming systems.
  • Tissue samples (n = 10 per group) were examined using Hematoxylin and Eosin staining.
  • Histological analysis focused on the thickness of colon layers and morphology of intestinal glands.
  • Intensive management farming swine had thicker mucosal, submucosal, and muscularis externa layers compared to backyard-farmed swine.
  • Backyard swine exhibited shallower intestinal glands and fewer inflammatory cells and lymphatic nodules.
  • Intensive farming is linked to enhanced nutrient absorption and immune responses in swine.
