Effects of Yeast β-Glucan Supplementation on Calf Intestinal and Respiratory Health by Jiamin Wang, Fang Yan, Meng Xiong, Jieru Dong, Wenqian Yang, Xiurong Xu

“…Also, stimulation with β-glucan increased the concentrations of secreted immunoglobulin A (sIgA, <i>p</i> < 0.01) and defensins (<i>p</i> < 0.05) in the rectal feces. (2) Pre-stimulation with yeast β-glucan effectively reduced the incidence of diarrhea (<i>p</i> < 0.05) and bovine respiratory disease (BRD, <i>p</i> < 0.05) from day 31 to day 60. (3) At 30 days of age, the pre-stimulated calves had significantly lower serum DAO (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and MDA levels (<i>p</i> < 0.05), while they had higher levels of serum IL-6 (<i>p</i> < 0.01) and fecal slgA (<i>p</i> < 0.05) than calves in the CON group. (4) Pre-stimulation with yeast β-glucan altered the intestinal bacterial community; the Beta diversity results showed that the CON group and the PO group were clustered separately in the principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) graph. Obviously, the PO group sample points were more clustered. …”
