Insoluble fibers affect digesta transit behavior in the upper gastrointestinal tract of growing pigs, regardless of particle size

SUMMARY

Insoluble fibers are known to play a role in regulating digesta transit behavior and nutrient digestibility in pigs (Gutierrez et_al, 2013; Agyekum and Nyachoti, 2017). Variation in the concentration of insoluble fibers can alter the transit of digesta phases in different ways along the gas- trointestinal segments (Guerin et_al, 2001; Van Leeuwen et_al, 2006; Wilfart et_al, 2007), and nutrient digestibility (Zhang et_al, 2013). Altering the retention time of solid or liquid digesta can result in changes in digesta phase segregation, potentially impacting nutrient digestion kinetics (Zijlstra et_al, 2012; Martens et_al, 2018). This study was part of a . . .
