Research Progress on Mechanism of Polyphenols Regulating Animal Intestinal Health and Application of Plant Polyphenols in Pig Production
Polyphenols,as plant secondary metabolites,have good antioxidant and antibacterial properties.Studies have shown that polyphenols can enhance the intestinal barrier function,interact with intestinal microor-ganisms,and regulate antioxidant properties to achieve a protective effect on the organism,and have a broad application prospect as green feed additives in pig production.This paper reviews the definition and classifica-tion of plant polyphenols,the role and mechanism of regulating animal intestinal health and their application in swine production to provide a reference for their future application in green and healthy farming in swine pro-duction.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(4):2104-2117]
