Oxidative stress commonly occurs in pig production, which can severely damage the intestinal function of weaned piglets. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of  D -galactose with different levels used to induce chronic oxidative stress on growth performance, intestinal morphology and gut microbiota in weaned piglets. The results showed that addition of 10 and 20 g/kg BW  D -galactose reduced average daily gain and average daily feed intake from the first to the third week. 10 g/kg BW  D -galactose increased the concentration of serum MDA at the second and third week. 10 g/kg BW  D -galactose significantly influenced the jejunal and ileal expressions of  GPx1 ,  CAT1 , and  MnSOD . The results of 16S rRNA sequencing showed that compared with the control, 10 and 20 g/kg BW  D -galactose significantly decreased the relative abundance of  Tenericutes ,  Erysipelotrichia ,  Erysipelotrichales , and  Erysipelotrichaceae , while increased the relative abundance of  Negativicutes ,  Selenomonnadales , and  Veillonellaceae . The results indicated that treatment with 10 g/kg BW/day  D -galactose for 3 weeks could induce chronic oxidative stress, reduce the growth performance and alter gut microbiota in weaned piglets.
