TI  - The Facilitating Effect of Tartary Buckwheat Flavonoids and Lactobacillus 
      plantarum on the Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility, Antioxidant 
      Capacity, and Fecal Microbiota of Weaned Piglets.

AB  - Natural plant extracts and probiotics has been proved as the most preferred and 
      effective alternatives for antibiotics in animal feeding. The current study aimed 
      to investigate the facilitating effect of tartary buckwheat flavonoids and 
      Lactobacillus plantarum on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, 
      antioxidant capacity, and microbiota of weaned piglets. Fifty 35-day-old weaned 
      piglets (7.85 +/- 0.67 kg) were randomly divided into five treatments with 10 
      piglets per treatment. Piglets in the negative control (NC) group were fed a 
      basal diet, and others were fed basal diets supplemented with 40 mg/kg of 
      colistin sulfate (positive control, PC), 10(9) CFU/kg Lactobacillus plantarum 
      (LP), 40 mg/kg of tartary buckwheat flavonoids (BF), and a combination of 10(9) 
      CFU/kg Lactobacillus plantarum and 40 mg/kg of tartary buckwheat flavonoids (LB). 
      Supplementation of BF increased the average daily gain of piglets in the BF group 
      (p < 0.05). The nutrient digestibility of piglets in the NC group was lower than 
      that in other groups, while the digestibility of gross energy, dry matter, 
      organic matter, and phosphorus of piglets in the LB group was higher than the 
      other four groups (p < 0.05). Compared with the NC and pC group, supplementation 
      of Lp increased the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione 
      peroxidase (GSH-px), and catalase (CAT), while the BF increased the content of 
      IgA and IgM (p < 0.05). Supplementation of colistin sulfate decreased the alpha 
      diversity index, including chao and observed species, while the addition of Lp or 
      combination of Lp and BF increased the abundance of Selenomonas or Mitsuokella in 
      fecal samples, respectively. The results indicated that supplementation of 
      Lactobacillus plantarum can improve the antioxidant capacity, while tartary 
      buckwheat flavones can increase the growth performance and immune ability of 
      weaned piglets. Moreover, in combination, they promote nutrient digestibility.
