ABSTRACT
The infection-preventive effects of 10% linseed meal (FM) and 15% hulled oat meal (HOM) in
antibiotic-free diets for weaned piglets (n=48) were studied. Compared with controls, both plants
improved (P<0.01) feed intake and growth rates up to day 6 post-weaning (before infection with
E. coli). After E.coli infection, all piglets showed poorer performance, irrespective of the diet. The
FM and HOM exerted no clear impact on faecal consistency, E.coli shedding or mucosal integrity,
except for reduced (P=0.003) goblet cell and increased (P=0.04) leukocyte counts.
