Dietary Full-Fat Rice Bran or Glucose Regulates Bile Acid Circulation, Colonic Microbiota, and Short-Chain Fatty Acids in Pigs During Chronic Cold Stress.

ABSTRACT: Chronic cold stress is a severe test that animals in cold regions have to face during winter. However, the lack of precise dietary adjustments for animals in cold regions represents a significant gap in addressing their nutritional needs. Full-fat rice bran is one of the feed materials rich in protein, lipids, dietary fiber, and antioxidant-active substances. Glucose is the most common quick energy supply. We determined dietary full-fat rice bran and glucose can improve the growth and health of cold-exposed pigs. A total of 18 Yorkshire pigs were randomized to one of three treatment groups (basal diet, full-fat rice bran diet (20%), and glucose diet (10%)) for 22 d to evaluate the effects of full-fat rice bran and glucose on growth performance, antioxidants, microbiomes, and bile acid circ
