Response of early-weaned pigs to spray-dried porcine or animal plasma-based diets supplemented with egg-yolk antibodies against enterotoxigenic Escherichia colil

Two experiments involving 168 10-d-old weaned pigs were conducted to compare growth-promoting properties of dietary spray-dried animal plasma (SDAP), spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP), and chicken egg-yolk antibodies (EYA) or egg-yolk powder (EYP, contains no specific antibodies) from d 0 to 14 postweaning. In Exp. 1, 96 pigs (3.2 +/- 0.2 kg BW) were used to test the hypothesis that the superior performance of piglets fed SDPP-based diets was partly due to the presence of specific antibodies against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), which could be replaced with EYA. Four experimental diets in a completely randomized design and arranged in a 2 x 2 factorial (SDPP without or with autoclaving [AuSDPP] and without [EYP] or with supplementation of EYA) were used. Autoclaving SDPP at 121degrees C for 15 min completely destroyed anti-K88/F18 antibodies. Overall feed intake and gain:feed ratio were similar (P > 0.05) among treatments and averaged 122.7 g/d and 0.688, respectively. However, pigs fed AuSDPP+EYP diets had poorer (P < 0.001) ADG compared with those fed SDPP+EYP or SDPP+EYA from 0 to 14 d. Scours were four times higher (P < 0.05) for treatment AuSDPP+EYP compared with all other treatments. Plasma urea nitrogen concentration was higher (P < 0.05) in AuSDPP+EYP- and AuSDPP+EYA-fed pigs. Also twice the number of piglets fed AuSDPP+EYP appeared unhealthy compared with piglets on treatment AuSDPP+EYA. In Exp. 2, 72 10-d-old weaned pigs (3.5 kg BW) were used to compare the effect of EYA supplementation and oral challenge of ETEC strain F18 on performance and visceral organ weights. The experimental diets consisted of SDAP+EYP, SDAP+EYA, SDPP+EYP, and SDPP+EYA. From d 0 to 7, and the entire experimental period, dietary treatment did not influence (P > 0.05) growth rate and feed consumption. Plasma urea N concentration was higher (P < 0.05) in piglets fed the SDAP+EYP diet before and after the oral challenge. Gain:feed ratio, organ weights, villi heights, and crypt depths were not affected (P > 0.05) by dietary treatments. The results indicate that SDPP contains specific anti-ETEC antibodies, which is one of the factors responsible for its superior growth-enhancing effects. Spray-dried animal plasma, SDPP and EYA have similar growth promoting effect in early-weaned pigs.     

Effects of spray-dried animal plasma on the growth performance of weaned piglets—A review

Spray-dried animal plasma sourced from bovine, porcine or other animal origin is often used as a main feed ingredient in the diets of weanling piglets to improve growth performance. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of animal plasma in diets on the performance of piglets in the post-weaning period, with and/or without pathogenic challenge, by undertaking a meta-analysis. Data were extracted from peer-reviewed reports published in scientific journals. The average initial weight of the piglets was 5.8 kg and the average initial age 19 days (2–56 days). The average duration of feeding animal plasma was 40 days. Average daily gain (ADG), feed intake (ADFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were found to be 22–28 g/day, 20–27 g/day and −0.28 to 0.06 g/g. Generally, diet supplemented with spray-dried bovine plasma (SDBP) improved the ADG of the piglets and spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) led to increases in the ADFI. For the first week post-weaning alone, as the dietary animal plasma percentage increased there was an increase in ADG and ADFI; similarly, the latter two measures increased as weaning age increased. The evidence suggests that mainly IgG present in animal plasma prevents the binding of pathogens to the gut wall and reduces the incidence of sub-clinical infection in the post-weaning stage. Animal plasma containing IgG appears to be a useful in-feed supplement for piglets in the post-weaning phase.     

饲粮中添加卵黄抗体对断奶仔猪生长性能、血清生化指标、肠道形态及肠道微生物菌群的影响

本试验旨在研究饲粮中添加卵黄抗体对断奶仔猪生长性能、血清生化指标、肠道形态及肠道微生物菌群的影响。试验选取160头(25±1)日龄"杜×长×大"断奶仔猪,分为4个组,每个组4个重复,每个重复10头猪。各组分别饲喂以下4种饲粮:基础饲粮(对照组)、基础饲粮+0.4 kg/t硫酸黏杆菌素(抗生素组)、基础饲粮+1.0 kg/t卵黄抗体(卵黄抗体组)、基础饲粮+0.2 kg/t硫酸黏杆菌素+0.5 kg/t卵黄抗体(联用组)。试验期共计28 d。结果表明:1)与对照组相比,卵黄抗体组显著提高了断奶仔猪平均日增重(P0.05),显著降低了断奶仔猪料重比和腹泻率(P0.05),断奶仔猪平均日采食量无显著差异(P0.05)。与抗生素组相比,卵黄抗体组断奶仔猪生长性能无显著差异(P0.05),两者表现出相近的使用效果。2)与对照组相比,卵黄抗体组显著提高了断奶仔猪血清中总蛋白、白蛋白的含量(P0.05)。3)与对照组相比,卵黄抗体组显著增加了断奶仔猪回肠绒毛高度和绒隐比(P0.05),断奶仔猪十二指肠和空肠的绒毛高度、隐窝深度和绒隐比无显著差异(P0.05)。4)与对照组相比,卵黄抗体组显著降低了断奶仔猪回肠、盲肠中大肠杆菌数量(P0.05),显著增加了断奶仔猪回肠、盲肠中的乳酸杆菌数量(P0.05)。综上所述,饲粮中添加卵黄抗体能显著改善断奶仔猪生长性能,增强仔猪免疫力,提高肠道健康水平,促进有益菌生长,与抗生素有相近的使用效果,是很有发展潜力的抗生素替代品之一。     

酵母提取物对断奶仔猪前期生长性能的影响

试验的目的是研究酵母提取物部分替代断奶仔猪饲粮中的血浆蛋白粉对断奶仔猪保育前期生长性能的影响。研究结果显示,在断奶仔猪日粮中添加酵母提取物或以不同水平替代日粮中的血浆蛋白粉,对仔猪的试验末重、平均日增重、饲料转化率和仔猪平均日采食量均有不同程度的改善作用。因此酵母提取物可以替代动物蛋白质饲料原料如血浆粉而不影响猪的生产性能。     

酵母壁多糖对断奶仔猪生长性能和小肠黏膜形态结构的影响

本研究旨在探讨饲粮中添加酵母壁多糖对断奶仔猪生长性能和小肠黏膜形态结构的影响。试验采用单因素试验设计方法,选取180头遗传背景一致、健康状况良好、胎次和体重接近的21日龄断奶仔猪,随机分为4个组,每组5个重复,每个重复9头猪。4个组分别饲喂对照饲粮、0.15%酵母壁多糖饲粮、0.30%酵母壁多糖饲粮和0.45%酵母壁多糖饲粮。试验期21 d。结果表明:1)与对照组相比,饲粮中添加酵母壁多糖能够显著提高断奶仔猪平均日增重和平均日采食量(P0.05);酵母壁多糖有降低断奶仔猪腹泻率和料重比的趋势,但差异不显著(P0.05)。2)与对照组相比,饲粮中添加酵母壁多糖能够显著提高断奶仔猪空肠绒毛高度/隐窝深度值(P0.05),添加0.45%酵母壁多糖能够显著提高断奶仔猪空肠绒毛高度和十二指肠绒毛高度/隐窝深度值(P0.05)。由此可知,酵母壁多糖可提高断奶仔猪的生长性能,并改善小肠黏膜形态结构;综合生长性能、小肠黏膜形态及经济成本等指标,其在仔猪饲粮中的适宜添加量为0.30%。     

Effects of zinc oxide and Enterococcus faecium SF68 dietary supplementation on the performance, intestinal microbiota and immune status of weaned piglets

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of zinc oxide (ZnO) and the probiotic Enterococcus faecium SF68 (Cylactin) dietary supplementation on the performance, intestinal microbiota and immune parameters of the weaned piglet reared under commercial conditions. The diets were devoid of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP). Two hundred and eight crossbred piglets were allocated to a 2 x 2 factorial experiment involving two levels of zinc oxide supplementation (0 or 3100 mg ZnO/kg feed), and two levels of E. faecium SF68 supplementation (0 or 1.4 x 10(9)CFU/kg feed (Cylactin ME10)). The diets were offered ad libitum for 20 days post-weaning. Piglet performance was assessed by calculating average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) on a pen basis. In addition, components of the distal ileal digesta, tissue-associated and mesenteric lymph node (MLN) bacterial populations were enumerated and serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and intestinal immunoglobulin A (IgA) concentrations were determined on days 6 and 20 post-weaning. Regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between the bacterial populations at the different sites. Supplementation of the post-weaning diet with either ZnO or E. faecium SF68 did not affect piglet performance. E. faecium SF68 did not affect gastrointestinal bacterial populations but did tend to reduce serum IgG (P<0.1) on day 20. Zinc oxide reduced anaerobic (P<0.05) and tended to decrease lactic acid (P<0.1) bacterial translocation to the MLN, and tended to increase intestinal IgA concentration (P<0.1) on day 20. Generally, luminal bacterial populations were found to be poor predictors of tissue-associated or MLN populations. ZnO and E. faecium SF68 dietary supplementation were ineffective under these trial conditions. Further investigations into the possible immunomodulator role of dietary ZnO are warranted.     

Growth performance and health status in weanling piglets fed spray-dried porcine plasma under typical Northern European conditions

The effect of inclusion of spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) in diets for weanling piglets was studied. The objectives were to determine whether SDPP would have positive effects on post-weaning piglet performance and health under typical Northern European conditions. In experiment 1, 160 weanling piglets were assigned randomly to a control diet or a diet containing 3% SDPP, which was added at the expense of both fishmeal and dried skim milk. In experiment 2, 264 weanling piglets were assigned to a control diet containing whey protein, a diet without whey protein but with SDPP or a diet containing both whey protein and SDPP. In essence, SDPP was added to the test diets at the expense of either whey protein or fishmeal. Piglets were fed the diets for 3 weeks. In experiment 1, the piglets fed the SDPP diet had a 7% higher average daily gain (ADG) and a 4% lower feed conversion ratio (FCR) (p < 0.05) during the first 3 weeks after weaning than did those fed the control diet. There were no differences in leucocyte counts or γ-globulin. In experiment 2 there were no significant differences in ADG and FCR among the dietary treatments. It is concluded that low amounts of SDPP in weanling diets can have positive effects on growth performance under Northern European conditions.

Antioxidant capacity and concentration of redox-active trace mineral in fully weaned intra-uterine growth retardation piglets

Background: The redox status of intra-uterine growth retardation(IUGR) piglets post-weaning has been poorly studied.Methods: Newborns from twenty-four sows were weighted, weaned at 21 d and fed a starter diet until sampling.Sampling was done at 14 d post-weaning. A piglet was defined as IUGR when its birth weight was 2 SD below the mean birth weight of the total population. At weaning, eighteen piglets with nearly equal body weight from each category(i.e. IUGR or normal birth weight(NBW) piglets) were selected and then allocated to two treatments,consisted of six replicates with each pen having three piglets.Results: Compared with NBW group, IUGR significantly decreased average daily gain(P 0.001), average daily feed intake(P = 0.003), and feed efficiency(P 0.001) of piglets during the first two weeks post-weaning. IUGR decreased the activities of total antioxidant capacity(P = 0.019), total superoxide dismutase(T-SOD, P = 0.023),and ceruloplasmin(P = 0.044) but increased the levels of malondialdehyde(P = 0.040) and protein carbonyl(P = 0.010) in plasma. Similarly, the decreased activities of T-SOD(P = 0.005), copper- and zinc-containing superoxide dismutase(Cu/Zn-SOD, P = 0.002), and catalase(P = 0.049) was observed in the liver of IUGR piglets than these of NBW piglets. IUGR decreased hepatic Cu/Zn-SOD activity(P = 0.023) per unit of Cu/Zn-SOD protein in piglets when compared with NBW piglets. In addition, IUGR piglets exhibited the decreases in accumulation of copper in both plasma(P = 0.001) and liver(P = 0.014), as well as the concentrations of iron(P = 0.002) and zinc(P = 0.048) in liver. Compared with NBW, IUGR down-regulated m RNA expression of Cu/Zn-SOD(P = 0.021) in the liver of piglets.Conclusions: The results indicated that IUGR impaired antioxidant capacity and resulted in oxidative damage in fully weaned piglets, which might be associated with the decreased levels of redox-active trace minerals. This study highlights the importance of redox status in IUGR offspring and provides a rationale for alleviating oxidative damage by dietary interventions aiming to supplement trace minerals and to restore redox balance in the future.     

Preliminary study of the influence of plasma proteins on immunological and production parameters in pigs

The health and productivity of pigs is important to farmers worldwide. One potential method of improving animal health is by providing functional proteins in the diet, for example spray-dried animal plasma (SDAP). These proteins, particularly plasma IgG, can improve health in many species, including humans. By unspecific activation of the immune system, SDAP can reduce morbidity and mortality as well as improve growth and efficiency what results in reduced costs of production. In this study, the influence of SDAP on expression of T-lymphocyte markers and production parameters in weaned pigs was evaluated. The results showed a significant increase in the percentage of T-lymphocytes, especially the CD8+ subpopulation, as well as a positive effect on body weight gain.     

Effect of weaning age, protein nutrition and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli challenge on the health of newly weaned piglets

The objective of this experiment was to determine whether decreasing dietary protein content and increasing weaning age could improve piglet health and decrease the occurrence and severity of post-weaning colibacillosis (PWC) in the absence of in-feed antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs). The experiment consisted of a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial combination of weaning age (4 vs 6 weeks), dietary protein content (H vs L; 230 vs 130 g CP/kg) and experimental enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) challenge (+ vs −). On day 3 post-weaning half of the piglets were challenged per os with 10⁹ cfu ETEC. A sample of piglets was euthanased on days 0 and 6 to assess digesta pH and lactobacilli to coliform (L:C) ratio. ETEC excretion persisted longer in the 4-week-weaned piglets than those weaned at 6 weeks (P = 0.003), and the numbers of ETEC shed tended to be higher on the H than L diet, especially in the 4-week-weaned piglets (P = 0.093). Decreasing protein level led to significantly firmer faeces, decreased pH and increased L:C ratio of proximal colon digesta. These results suggest that in the absence of AGPs, increasing weaning age and decreasing dietary protein level, especially in earlier weaned piglets, may help to minimize the effects of PWC.

稀土壳糖胺螯合盐对断奶仔猪生长性能、血清生化指标、营养物质消化率及粪中微生物菌群的影响

本试验旨在研究饲粮中添加稀土壳糖胺螯合盐(rare earth-chitosan chelate,RECC)对断奶仔猪生长性能、血清生化指标、营养物质消化率及粪中微生物菌群的影响。试验选取240头28日龄健康纯种大白仔猪,随机分成4组,每组4个重复,每个重复15头仔猪。对照组饲喂基础饲粮,试验组分别饲喂在基础饲粮中添加0.02%、0.03%和0.04%RECC的饲粮。试验期28 d。结果显示:1)与对照组相比,饲粮添加0.02%和0.03%RECC显著提高断奶仔猪平均日增重和平均日采食量(P0.05)、显著降低料重比(P0.05),各RECC组断奶仔猪腹泻率均显著降低(P0.05)。2)饲粮添加0.02%和0.03%RECC显著提高断奶仔猪血清生长激素和免疫球蛋白G含量(P0.05)。3)饲粮添加0.02%和0.03%RECC显著提高断奶仔猪对干物质、粗蛋白质和粗脂肪的消化率(P0.05),饲粮添加0.02%RECC显著提高仔猪对Ca和P的消化率(P0.05)。4)饲粮添加RECC对仔猪粪中大肠杆菌、双歧杆菌和乳酸杆菌数影响均不显著(P0.05),但有降低大肠杆菌数的趋势。综上所述,饲粮中添加RECC可以通过提高断奶仔猪体内的激素含量、调节微生物平衡,进而改善仔猪的生长、免疫等功能,且RECC在断奶仔猪中较为适宜的添加量为0.02%。     

The effect of dietary tryptophan levels on oxidative stress of liver induced by diquat in weaned piglets

Oxidative stress can induce abnormal tryptophan metabolism.The present study was mainly conducted to determine the effect of dietary tryptophan levels on oxidative stress in the liver of weaned pigs challenged by diquat.A total of 36 PIC piglets weaned at 21 days of age were randomly allotted to 1 of 3 diets containing dietary tryptophan levels of 0.18,0.30,and 0.45%for 14 d.On day 8,the piglets were injected intraperitoneally with sterile0.9%NaCI solution or diquat(10 mg/kg body weight).During the first 7 d of trial,increasing dietary tryptophan levels enhanced average daily gain(P=0.09) and average daily feed intake(P=0.08),and decreased the feed efficiency(P<0.05) of piglets.The growth performance was decreased by diquat injection(P<0.05).Diquat injection also decreased the activities of the superoxide dismutase(SOD) and glutathione peroxidase(GPx) in the plasma and liver(P<0.05),increased plasma malondialdehyde(MDA)(P<0.05) and urea nitrogen(P<0.05) concentrations,and enhanced MDA concentration(P =0.09) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase(TDO) activity(P =0.07) in liver of piglets.Increasing dietary tryptophan levels could attenuate the effects of diquat injection on the MDA(P =0.06) concentration and the activities of SOD(P=0.09) and GPx(P=0.05) of the liver,and plasma urea nitrogen(P =0.06) concentration in the piglet.There was a synergistic role for increasing TDO activity in the liver between dietary tryptophan levels and diquat injection(P<0.05).These results suggest that increasing dietary tryptophan levels could attenuate the oxidative stress of the liver in weaned piglets intraperitoneally injected with diquat via enhancing the antioxidant capacity.

谷氨酰胺对脂多糖应激仔猪生长性能及血清生化指标的影响

本试验旨在研究饲粮中添加谷氨酰胺(Gln)对断奶仔猪不同阶段生长性能的影响,以及其对脂多糖(LPS)诱导肠道损伤后断奶仔猪血清生化指标和生长性能的影响。选用24头28日龄健康的"杜×长×大"三元杂交断奶仔猪,随机分为3组,每组8个重复,每个重复1头猪。对照组和LPS组饲喂基础饲粮,Gln+LPS组饲喂添加了1%的外源性Gln的基础饲粮;在试验第22、25、28、30天,LPS组和Gln+LPS组腹腔注射100μg/kg BW LPS,对照组则注射相同剂量的生理盐水。试验期30 d。结果表明:1)LPS处理前(试验第1~21天),与对照组相比,Gln+LPS组显著提高了试验第1~7天断奶仔猪的平均日采食量(ADFI)和平均日增重(ADG)(P0.05),显著提高了试验第8~14天和第1~21天断奶仔猪的ADFI(P0.05)。2)LPS处理后(试验第22~30天),对照组断奶仔猪的ADFI、ADG、第30天体重均显著高于LPS组和Gln+LPS组(P0.05),Gln+LPS组断奶仔猪的ADFI、ADG、第30天体重均高于LPS组(P0.05)。3)LPS组断奶仔猪的小肠长度显著低于对照组和Gln+LPS组(P0.05),而对照组和Gln+LPS组之间无显著差异(P0.05)。4)与对照组相比,Gln+LPS组断奶仔猪的血清高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDLC)含量和碱性磷酸酶(ALP)活性显著降低(P0.05),而Gln+LPS组与LPS组之间无显著差异(P0.05);Gln+LPS组和LPS组断奶仔猪的血清免疫球蛋白M(Ig M)含量显著提高(P0.05)。由此可见,饲粮中添加1%的Gln能够显著提高仔猪断奶后第1~7天的生长性能,之后效果不明显。饲粮中添加1%的Gln能够调节应激仔猪的血清生化指标,改善其生长性能和小肠长度,从而缓解仔猪断奶应激。     

饲粮添加银耳多糖对断奶仔猪生长性能和腹泻的影响

试验旨在研究银耳多糖对断奶仔猪生长性能和腹泻的影响。试验选取健康、体重接近的断奶仔猪72头,采用单因素完全随机化设计分为3个处理,即对照组(饲喂基础饲粮)、无抗组(在对照组饲粮基础上饲喂完全不含抗生素的饲粮)和TP组(在无抗组饲粮的基础上补充0.2%的银耳多糖)。每个处理3个重复,每个重复8头猪。试验期24 d。结果表明:与对照组相比,仔猪饲喂无抗饲粮日采食量增加0.95%、日增重增加1.75%、料重比下降了0.98%、腹泻率增加12.54%,但是对断奶仔猪的日采食量、日增重、料重比和腹泻率均无显著影响,表明不添加抗生素未对断奶仔猪生长性能造成负面影响;与无抗组相比,饲粮添加0.2%银耳多糖,仔猪日采食量提高9.76%、日增重提高12.98%、料重比下降2.46%、腹泻率下降17.80%,表明饲粮添加0.2%银耳多糖能够显著提高断奶仔猪的生长性能;与对照组相比,饲粮添加0.2%银耳多糖,仔猪日采食量提高10.80%、日增重提高14.95%、料重比下降3.41%、腹泻率下降7.49%,表明添加0.2%银耳多糖能够显著提高仔猪的生长性能。研究表明,饲粮中不添加抗生素会增加仔猪腹泻率,但未对其他生长性能造成负面影响;添加0.2%银耳多糖能够降低腹泻率、显著提高仔猪生长性能,并且能够替代抗生素发挥作用。
