Weaning older, more mature pigs helps prevent many of the adverse gastrointestinal effects associated with weaning stress, and maternal nutritional interventions can influence offspring gut health and growth performance. Therefore, it is important to explore the effects of maternal nutritional interventions on their offspring. Yeast cultures are a class of biological products consisting of metabolites produced during the anaerobic fermentation of yeast and some live yeast cells, and function to maintain the intestinal health of animals and improve production performance. The effect of sow dietary supplementation with yeast cultures on the immune performance of their weaned offspring under lipopolysaccharide stress has not so far been reported. This study provided a basis for understanding the effects of maternal transfer of yeast cultures to their offspring and provided data to support the application of yeast cultures in actual production.
