Abstract :
[en] In the wider framework of the search for the alternatives for the preventive use of antobiotics, the present experiments have shown that inulin could interfere in vitro with the adhesion of a pathogenic coliform to the intestinal porcine mucosa. Moreover, a first immunization experiment pointed towards a systemic specific immunomodulation (increase in IgA and IgM titres) by inulin after a boost with intramuscularly injected bovine thyroglobulin (BT).
