ABSTRACT Probiotics are microorganisms that contribute to the health of the host. Our study was carried out in an F2 hybrid breed piglet model to analyze probiotic intake on metabolic outcome, adding to the diet piglet a mixture of the three probiotics: Limosilactobacillus fermentum LH01, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LH03, and Limosilactobacilus reuteri LH05, called P/LH-010305. The serum levels of metabolic markers were determined, and the histopathological state of the adipose and small and large intestinal tissue segments was evaluated. The results showed that the consumption of P/LH-010305 dismissed triglyceride levels, and the adipose tissue morphometric study was improved. In pigs that consumed P/LH-010305, a tendency to regulate glucose and cholesterol serum levels was observed. We suggest that probiotic mixture intake may improve triglyceride levels, which indicates a metabolic regulation, likewise corroborated by the diameter and number of adipocytes on adipose tissue observed. We consider that the mixture of probiotics can benefit the growth and health of piglets
