Dietary rutin improves the antidiarrheal capacity of weaned piglets by improving intestinal barrier function, antioxidant capacity, and cecal microbiota composition.

Dietary 500 mg/kg rutin increased G: F by improving intestinal morphology, and alleviated diarrhea by enhancing intestinal barrier, which might be associated to the enhanced antioxidant capacity via activating Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway and the improved cecal microbial composition in weaned piglets.
