Effects of Dioscorea oppositifolia L. on growth performance, biochemical indicators, immunity, and intestinal health of weaned piglets
In summary, YAM alleviates weaning stress syndrome in piglets by promoting growth performance, improving immune function and disease resistance, improving intestinal morphology and mucosal immunity, and regulating the intestinal microbial composition of piglets. This provides a theoretical basis for the development and application of YAM as a new plant-derived feed additive.
