Effect of Enzyme Treated Cassava Peel Meal Based Diets on Growth Performance and Nutrient Digestibility of Weaner Pigs

Abstract BACKGROUND: A total of one hundred and forty, 28 d-old weaner pigs [Duroc x (Yorkshire x Landrace)] with initial body weight (BW) of 6.56±1.25kg were used in a six-week treatment (7 replicate pens per treatment; barrows, and 2 gilts/pen) to evaluate the effect of low nutrient density diet supplement with probiotic mixture supplementation on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, fecal microbial, and gas emission of weaner pigs. RESULTS: Pigs fed low-density diet with probiotic mixture supplementation had linearly increased (P = 0.028, 0.014) the body weight (BW) at weeks 3, and 6. Moreover, average daily gain (ADG) was linearly improved (P=0.018, 0.014, 0.014) at week 3, 6, and overall experiment. However, there were no interactive effects found on the nutrient digestibility of dry matter (DM), nitrogen (N) and energy (E) throughout the experiment. Dietary inclusion of low-density diet with probiotic mixture supplementation has improved the fecal lactobacillus counts linearly, but E. coli was unaffected during the trail. On day 42, Ammonium gas emission was significantly decrease in pigs fed a low-density diet with probiotic mixture supplementation. However, H2S, acetic acid, and CO2 were not significantly affected by the probiotic mixture supplementation diet. CONCLUSION: Low-density diet with probiotic mixture supplementation had positively affected the growth performance, fecal microbial, and fecal gas emission on weaner pigs.

Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary β-glucan supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood profiles, and fecal characteristics in weaner pigs. A total of 140 weaner pigs [(Yorkshire × Landrace) × Duroc] with an average body weight of 6.37±1.14 kg were allotted to one of the following dietary treatments: 1) negative control (NC, basal diet); 2) positive control (PC, basal diet supplemented with 39 ppm Tiamulin); 3) basal diet supplemented with 0.1% β-glucan (G1); 4) basal diet supplemented with 0.2% β-glucan (G2). During days 22 to 42 and 1 to 42, pigs offered PC and G2 diets grew faster than those offered NC diet (P<0.05). Additionally, during the same periods, pigs fed G2 and PC diets exhibited improved gain:feed ratio compared to pigs receiving NC and G1 diets (P<0.05). Pigs fed G2 diet exhibited higher coefficient of total tract apparent digestibility of dry matter than those fed NC diet (P<0.05). There were no differences on blood profiles, fecal scores, fecal moisture, and fecal pH (P>0.05). Fecal lactic acid bacteria counts in G2 treatment were higher compared with PC and NC treatments (P<0.05). Coliform bacteria concentrations were decreased in pigs fed PC and G2 diets compared with those fed NC diet (P<0.05). In conclusion, the results of the current study indicate that dietary supplementation of 0.2% β-glucan can improve growth performance and dry matter digestibility, increase fecal lactic acid bacteria concentration but decrease fecal coliform bacteria concentration in weaner pigs.

The present study tested the hypothesis that altering the ratio of omega-6 (n-6) to omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids (FAs) in the diet will improve growth performance, nutrient digestibility and blood parameters of weaner pigs. In total, 90 crossbred weaner pigs ((Yorkshire × Landrace) × Duroc, 28 days old), with an average bodyweight (BW) of 6.53 ± 0.71 kg were used in a 6-week experiment. Pigs were blocked on the basis of BW and sex and randomly allotted to one of three dietary treatments (5 pigs per pen (2 barrows and 3 gilts); 6 pens per treatment). Treatments consisted of plant-derived n-6 and n-3 FAs (15:1, 10:1 and 5:1). The experimental period was divided into three phases: Phase 1; 28–35 days of age, Phase 2; 36- 49 days of age and Phase 3; 50–70 days of age. Supplementation of varied n-6:n-3 FA ratios in the diet of weaned pigs showed linear increases (P < 0.05) in BW and average daily gain during Phases 1 and 2. The feed:gain ratios reduced linearly (P < 0.05) during Phase 1 and tended to reduce (P = 0.08) during Phase 2 as the ratio of n-6:n-3 FA decreased from 15:1 to 5:1. However, the overall performance of weaners was not affected by the n-6:n-3 FA ratio. Dry matter and nitrogen (N) digestibility increased linearly (P < 0.05) and energy digestibility tended (P = 0.089) to increase linearly with the reduction of n-6:n-3 FA ratio from 15:1 to 5:1 during Week 3 and, in Week 6, dry-matter digestibility increased (P < 0.05) linearly, whereas energy digestibility tended to increase with a decreasing n-6:n-3 FA ratio in the diet. The high-density lipid cholesterol showed a significant (P < 0.05) linear increase at Week 3 and a tendency to increase at Week 6, but no significant effects on other serum lipids were observed. The dietary n-6:n-3 FA ratio did not have a significant effect on white blood cell, lymphocyte, immunoglobulin G and tumour necrosis factor-α concentrations or faecal microbial counts. In conclusion, the reduction of n-6:n-3 FA ratio from 15:1 to 5:1 in the diet did not affect the overall performance of weaning pigs. However, it showed a positive effect on the growth performance of pigs during Phases 1 and 2.

Weaner Pigs

Thirty (30) weaned crossbred (Landrace × large white) pigs with an average body weight of 8.5±0.4 kg was used to evaluate performance and nutrient digestibility of weaned pigs fed five experimental diets containing cereal milling by-products. Diet 1 contained maize offal, while diets 2, 3, 4 and 5 contained wheat offal, sorghum offal, millet offal and rice offal respectively. The animals were balanced for sex and weight then allotted to five dietary treatments replicated three times in a completely randomized design. Data were collected on feed intake and weight gain for a period of eight weeks. A digestibility trial was carried at the end of the feeding trial using three pigs per treatment. Data collected were subjected to oneway analysis of variance. The result of growth performance and nutrient digestibility showed that average feed intake, final body weight as well as digestibility of dry matter, crude fibre, ether extracts, crude protein and ash were higher (P<0.05) for pigs fed T1 (maize offal), T2 (wheat offal), T3 (sorghum offal) and T4 (millet offal), while those on T5 (Rice offal) had the lowest growth and nutrient digestibility. It was concluded that maize offal, wheat offal, sorghum offal, millet offal can be used in weaner pigs' diet. Trente (30) porcs croisés sevrés (Landrace × Large white) d'un poids corporel moyen de 8,5 ± 0,4 kg ont été utilisés pour évaluer les performances et la digestibilité des nutriments de porcs sevrés nourris avec cinq régimes expérimentaux contenant des sous-produits de la mouture de céréales. Le régime 1 contenait des as des aliments de maïs, tandis que les régimes 2, 3, 4 et 5 contenaient respectivement des aliments de blé, des aliments de sorgho, des aliments de mil et des aliments de riz. Les animaux ont été équilibrés pour le sexe et le poids puis attribués à cinq traitements diététiques répétés trois fois dans une conception complètement aléatoire. Des données ont été recueillies sur la prise alimentaire et la prise de poids pendant une période de huit semaines. Un essai de digestibilité a été réalisé à la fin de test d'alimentation en utilisant trois porcs par traitement. Les données collectées ont été soumises à une analyse unidirectionnelle de la variance. Le résultat des performances de croissance et de la digestibilité des nutriments a montré que l'apport alimentaire moyen, le poids corporel final ainsi que la digestibilité de la matière sèche, des fibres brutes, des extraits d'éther, des protéines brutes et des cendres étaient plus élevés (P <0,05) pour les porcs nourris au T1 (aliments de maïs). , T2 (aliments de blé), T3 (aliments de sorgho) et T4 (aliments de millet), tandis que ceux de T5 (aliments de riz) avaient la plus faible croissance et digestibilité des éléments nutritifs. Il a été conclu que les aliments de maïs, les aliments de blé, les aliments de sorgho, les aliments de millet peut être utilisé dans l'alimentation des porcs sevrés.
