1.
Effects of dietary inulin on the intestinal short chain fatty acids and microbial ecology in broiler chickens as revealed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis
Rehman H, Hellweg P, Taras D, Zentek J
Poult Sci . 2008 Mar; 87(4):783-9. PMID: 18340001
Inulin can stimulate the growth of the intestinal bacteria as well as alter the ratio among various short chain fatty acids (SCFA) produced. In the present study, we analyzed the...

Effect of the probiotic Enterococcus faecium NCIMB10415 on cell numbers of total Enterococcus spp., E. faecium and E. faecalis in the intestine of piglets
Vahjen W, Taras D, Simon O
Curr Issues Intest Microbiol . 2007 May; 8(1):1-7. PMID: 17489433
Sows and their piglets were fed a diet supplemented with or without the probiotic E. faecium NCIMB10415 (also known as SF68). Piglets were sacrificed 14, 28, 35 and 56 days...
3.
Weaning pig performance and faecal microbiota with and without in-feed addition of rare earth elements
Kraatz M, Taras D, Manner K, Simon O
J Anim Physiol Anim Nutr (Berl) . 2006 Sep; 90(9-10):361-8. PMID: 16958792
Two 6-week feeding trials were conducted on a total of 112 newly weaned piglets to examine the recently reported growth promoting effects of dietary rare earth elements (REE) in European...

Performance, diarrhea incidence, and occurrence of Escherichia coli virulence genes during long-term administration of a probiotic Enterococcus faecium strain to sows and piglets
Taras D, Vahjen W, Macha M, Simon O
J Anim Sci . 2006 Feb; 84(3):608-17. PMID: 16478952
As part of an interdisciplinary research project, the performance response of sows and their litters to the probiotic strain Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415, as well as some health characteristics of...

Effect of isomalt consumption on faecal microflora and colonic metabolism in healthy volunteers
Gostner A, Blaut M, Schaffer V, Kozianowski G, Theis S, Klingeberg M, et al.
Br J Nutr . 2006 Jan; 95(1):40-50. PMID: 16441915
Due to its low digestibility in the small intestine, a major fraction of the polyol isomalt reaches the colon. However, little is known about effects on the intestinal microflora. During...

Influence of a probiotic Enterococcus faecium strain on development of the immune system of sows and piglets
Scharek L, Guth J, Reiter K, Weyrauch K, Taras D, Schwerk P, et al.
Vet Immunol Immunopathol . 2005 Mar; 105(1-2):151-61. PMID: 15797484
The influence of the probiotic bacterium Enterococcus faecium SF68 on the immune system and the intestinal colonization of pigs were determined in a feeding experiment with sows and piglets. Mucosal...
7.
Specific enumeration of the probiotic strain Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 in the intestinal tract and in faeces of piglets and sows
Macha M, Taras D, Vahjen W, Arini A, Simon O
Arch Anim Nutr . 2005 Mar; 58(6):443-52. PMID: 15732577
The intestinal bacterium Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 (E. faecium SF68) has been used for more than a decade as a probiotic strain in animal nutrition as well as in the...

A new technique to determine hydrogen excreted by gnotobiotic rats
Hartmann L, Taras D, Kamlage B, Blaut M
Lab Anim . 2000 May; 34(2):162-70. PMID: 10817455
A new system, that allowed the monitoring of hydrogen (H2) excretion by gnotobiotic rats without affecting their defined microbial status, was developed. The system consists of an isolator containing a...
