| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this research was to investigate whether bacteria in pig colostrum affects the formation and composition of intestinal microbiota in piglet. The diversity of colostral microbiota was rather higher than intestinal microbiota and the composition was stable during 24 hours after parturition. The supplementation of functional materials to sow's diet changed colostral microbiota and intestinal microbiota of their piglets. Therefore, it is suggested that colostral microbiota can be changed by addition of functional materials to sow's diet and that colostral microbiota affected the formation/composition of intestinal microbiota of piglet.
