Therefore, the current study was conducted to evaluate the impact of insoluble and soluble dietary fiber sources and butyrate on the intestinal health and growth performance of nursery pigs. It was hypothesized that insoluble and soluble dietary fiber sources or butyrate supplementation would improve nursery pig performance and enteric health. Over two replicates, a total of 610 weaned pigs were assigned to one of five dietary treatments (n\u2009=\u200917 pens\/treatment): 1) control diet (CON), 2) wheat bran (WB), 3) beet pulp (BP), 4) corn distiller\u2019s dried grains with solubles (DDGS), and 5) CON plus 0.20% tributyrin. Diets were fed in two phases (14 and 28\u2009d). Pigs were confirmed positive for rotavirus A, B, and C and F18 enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (E. coli). There was no effect of dietary fiber or tributyrin on the proportion of pigs with normal, soft, or liquid fecal consistency in wk 1, 2, or 3 of the study (P\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.10). There were no significant differences in average daily gain, average daily feed intake (ADFI), or gain-to-feed ratio (G: F) among treatments in phase 1 (P\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.10). Tributyrin tended to increase ADFI in phase 2 compared to CON and BP (P\u2009=\u20090.063), and increased ADFI overall compared to CON (P\u2009=\u20090.031), but had no significant effect on final body weight (P\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.10). Dietary treatment did not affect ileal, colonic, or fecal VFA concentrations on d 7, 10, or 42. However, on d 22, CON pigs had greater fecal acetate, propionate, valerate, and total VFA concentrations than one or more fiber treatments (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05), with butyrate tending to be greater than WB (P\u2009=\u20090.080). Bacterial community analysis revealed no effect of dietary fiber treatment on alpha diversity, except for DDGS, where d 14 and d 42 communities differed (P\u2009=\u20090.014). Beta-diversity analysis identified distinct clustering between time points (P\u2009=\u20090.001) and between treatments (P\u2009=\u20090.024) using the Bray Curtis dissimilarity matrix. Overall, although bacterial community composition was affected, the inclusion of WB, BP, corn DDGS, or tributyrin did not significantly impact intestinal health, pathogen load, VFA concentration, or growth performance in nursery pigs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jas\/skag302","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,18]],"date-time":"2026-09-18T18:27:39Z","timestamp":1789756059000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effect of dietary fiber and tributyrin on nursery pig health, performance, bacteriome, and volatile fatty acid concentration"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"104","author":[{"given":"Elizabeth M","family":"Due","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, Iowa State University , Ames, IA 50011,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olivier","family":"Munezero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, University of Nebraska-Lincoln , Lincoln, NE 68583,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric R","family":"Burrough","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Diagnostic and Production Animal Medicine, Iowa State University , Ames, IA 50011,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas E","family":"Burkey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, University of Nebraska-Lincoln , Lincoln, NE 68583,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samodha C","family":"Fernando","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, University of Nebraska-Lincoln , Lincoln, NE 68583,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7283-4782","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicholas K","family":"Gabler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, Iowa State University , Ames, IA 50011,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026100914524402100_skag302-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"skag141","DOI":"10.1093\/jas\/skag141","article-title":"Soluble dietary fiber, insoluble dietary fiber, and total dietary fiber in feed ingredients used in diets for pigs","volume":"104","author":"Acosta","year":"2026","journal-title":"J Anim Sci"},{"key":"2026100914524402100_skag302-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"716","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eng.2017.03.010","article-title":"Nutritional and metabolic consequences of feeding high-fiber diets to swine: a review","volume":"3","author":"Agyekum","year":"2017","journal-title":"Engineering"},{"key":"2026100914524402100_skag302-B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3741","DOI":"10.1093\/jas\/skz208","article-title":"Board invited review: the pig microbiota and the potential for harnessing the power of the microbiome to improve growth and health","volume":"97","author":"Aluthge","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Anim Sci"},{"key":"2026100914524402100_skag302-B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"R106","DOI":"10.1186\/gb-2010-11-10-r106","article-title":"Differential expression analysis for sequence count data","volume":"11","author":"Anders","year":"2010","journal-title":"Genome Biol"},{"key":"2026100914524402100_skag302-B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.1016\/0308-8146(96)00055-6","article-title":"Dietary carbohydrates: classification by chemistry and physiology","volume":"57","author":"Asp","year":"1996","journal-title":"Food Chem"},{"key":"2026100914524402100_skag302-B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"73","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anifeedsci.2010.06.009","article-title":"The effect of feeding wheat distillers dried grain with solubles on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in weaned pigs","volume":"160","author":"Avelar","year":"2010","journal-title":"Anim Feed Sci Technol"},{"key":"2026100914524402100_skag302-B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"skab090","DOI":"10.1093\/jas\/skab090","article-title":"Effects of feeding diets containing low crude protein and coarse wheat bran as alternatives to zinc oxide in nursery pig diets","volume":"99","author":"Batson","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Anim.
