"From Diet to Gut Resilience: Non-Digestible Carbohydrates Against Post-Weaning Diarrhea in Piglets" - Niloofar Razmgah
Congratulations to Niloofar Razmgah 💐👏 On July 6th 2026 Niloofar defended her PhD thesis: ’From Diet to Gut Resilience: Non-Digestible Carbohydrates Against Post-Weaning Diarrhea in Piglets’.
Niloofar’s findings contribute to the understanding of how novel dietary strategies, including non-digestible carbohydrates derived from plant and non-plant sources, can alleviate the adverse impacts of the critical weaning transition, while also reducing antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance. 🐽🐖
