Healthy piglets with licorice polysaccharide supplementation

In this recently published study, researchers confirm that licorice (Glycyrrhiza) polysaccharide supplementation enhances the health of weaned piglets by improving immune functions, antioxidant capacity and growth performance. Weaning is a stressful time for piglets as they must adapt to a new feed, the separation from the sow, and fellow piglets from different litters. The stress disrupts the physiological balance of the piglets, leading to reduced immunity and growth performance. Several st
