Cover Story: The weaning period is a very important stage in the lives of pigs, as during weaning, animals are very susceptible to pathogens and develop postweaning diarrhoea. The aim of our study was to counteract weaning stress and to improve piglets’ gut health by using a nutritional intervention consisting of a mix of agro-industrial wastes (grapeseed, flaxseed and sea blackthorn meals) rich in omega-3 PUFA. Our results showed that agro-industrial wastes rich in omega-3 PUFA can be used as ecological, environmentally friendly nutritional interventions to improve the negative effects associated with weaning stress. View this paper
