This study aimed to determine the effect of feeding diets with high IDF by including 15% oat hulls (OH), either finely or coarsely ground, on GIT development in weanling piglets. A total of 72 piglets (Hypor Libra \u00d7 Hypor Maxter, 26\u2009\u00b1\u20090.6\u2009d, 7.0\u2009\u00b1\u20091.2\u2009kg bodyweight [BW]) were housed in three large pens (24 piglets\/pen). Each pen was equipped with three electronic feeding stations and each station contained one of three experimental diets (n\u2009=\u20098 piglets\/dietary treatment). The control (CON) diet consisted of finely ground highly digestible ingredients. For the OH diets, 15% finely ground (OH-f) or 15% coarsely ground OH (OH-c) were included at the expense of corn starch. A total of 12 randomly selected piglets\/diet were euthanized on d13 post-wean for GIT measurements. Empty stomach weight was highest for OH-c, followed by OH-f, and CON (9.66, 8.78, and 7.32\u2009g\/kg BW, respectively; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Weights of gastric content (P\u2009=\u20090.028), cecum content (P\u2009=\u20090.032), empty colon (P\u2009=\u20090.027), and colon content (P\u2009=\u20090.024) were higher for OH-f and OH-c compared to CON. Piglets fed the OH-c diet had a higher pH gradient (0.93; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) and smaller DM gradient (\u22122.3%-point; P\u2009=\u20090.025) between the proximal and distal area of the stomach compared to both CON (\u22120.12 and \u22129.4%-point, respectively) and OH-f (0.23 and \u22124.3%-point, respectively) caused by higher pH (P\u2009=\u20090.004) and DM (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) in the proximal stomach. Total VFA concentrations were higher in OH than for CON in the stomach, cecum and colon especially for OH-c. Although not significant, the goblet cell counts and goblet cell area were numerically higher in both OH diets than in CON (+30% and +45%, respectively). In conclusion, diluting a nutrient-dense diet by inclusion of 15% OH in the immediate post-weaning period resulted in a more developed and functional GIT (i.e., increased goblet cell counts and area, increased organs weights and increased total VFA production), which was even more pronounced when the OH were in a coarse form.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jas\/skaf377","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,24]],"date-time":"2025-10-24T12:04:12Z","timestamp":1761307452000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Diluting a diet with oat hulls of different particle size enhances gastrointestinal development and function of weanling pigs"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"103","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2020-4281","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tetske G","family":"Hulshof","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Swine Research Centre, Trouw Nutrition R&D , Boxmeer, 5831 JN,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hub\u00e8rt M J","family":"Van Hees","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Swine Research Centre, Trouw Nutrition R&D , Boxmeer, 5831 JN,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Geert P J","family":"Janssens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary and Biosciences, Ghent University , Merelbeke, 9820,","place":["Belgium"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael O","family":"Wellington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Swine Research Centre, Trouw Nutrition R&D , Boxmeer, 5831 JN,","place":["The Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"2025111615421189400_skaf377-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3032","DOI":"10.2527\/jas.2011-4380","article-title":"Organ weight, intestinal morphology, and fasting whole-body oxygen consumption in growing pigs fed diets containing distillers dried grains with solubles alone or in combination with a multienzyme supplement","volume":"90","author":"Agyekum","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
