This invention belongs to the field of
animal feed technology and discloses the application of
glucuronolactone in the preparation of feed that alleviates
spleen damage caused by the combined effects of PRRSV and DON. This invention discovers that
glucuronolactone can effectively alleviate
spleen damage in piglets caused by co-
exposure to PRRSV and DON. It exerts its protective effect by activating the Nrf2
antioxidant signaling pathway, improving
spleen tissue structure, alleviating
oxidative stress, inhibiting inflammatory responses, and inhibiting
apoptosis. This invention also provides a feed containing the aforementioned effective amount of
glucuronolactone, with the basic feed tailored to the nutritional needs of piglets. This invention fills the technological gap in effective intervention methods for spleen damage under PRRSV and DON co-
exposure. The glucuronolactone addition process is simple, the effect is significant, and it is suitable for large-scale feed production. It can effectively solve the problem of
immunosuppression in pig herds caused by the combined harm of PRRSV and DON in the pig industry, and has important practical value.
