Effects of lactobacillus plantarum ZJ316 on pig
growth and pork quality
L. plantarum ZJ316 was found to have probiotic effects, improving pig growth and pork quality. The
probiotic mechanism might not involve L. plantarum colonization and alteration of the gut bacterial community.
Rather, it might be related to the inhibition of the growth of opportunistic pathogens and promotion of increased
villus height.
