Except for the numbers of enterococci, the bacterial
groups in the faeces of the sows were not affected by the
dietary inclusion of inulin (P > 0.05). In particular, no
differences in the cell numbers of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli were observed between the control and
inulin group, which is in contrast to previous studies
[4-6]. Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli are typically anticipated
to be increased by the dietary inclusion of inulin
[20]. However, the missing effect in the present study
underlines other conflicting results reported in the
literature, as some authors also could not demonstrate
an effect of dietary inulin on bifidobacteria and lactobacilli
[18,19] or generally on the intestinal microbiota
in pigs [8,9].
