Extract
The objective of the present study was to investigate the development of hydrolase enzyme activity at six sites along the small intestine of the pig before and after weaning and the influence inclusion of a probiotic preparation had upon this. The enzymes studied lactase, dipeptidase and tripeptidase are primarily associated with the brush border of the enterocyte cell and expression of hydrolase activity has been shown to be affected by manipulation of the microbial population of the gut.
