Immune system functioning
Another way that researchers found to address nutrition for young animals, was to focus on regulating the immune system.
Work with an egg-based antibiotic-free additive sought to allow the immune response in young birds and pre-weaned calves to address pathogen challenges.
However, piglets also may see a benefit from the use of egg-based additives, especially when faced with a disease challenge.
