Effect of Complete Feed Feeding Level and Morning Glory on Growing Pig Performance

Betaine has three chemically reactive methyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom of the glycine molecule. Therefore, it can be used as a methyl group donor partially to replace methionine in poultry and pig diets. Recent work also suggests that betaine has an energy sparing role by reducing maintenance requirement of the pig (Schrama and Gerrits, 2000). Betaine has improved performance and carcass leanness in some studies but the results are variable and seem to depend on age and sex of the animal, feeding level and diet composition.Choline can also be used as methyl donor in animal feeds. In poultry, methyl groups are available after the conversion to betaine in the liver. However, dietary betaine is twice as efficient as the equi-molar dietary choline for increasing liver betaine levels in broiler chick (Saarinen et al., 2000). The aim of this study was to compare the response of pigs fed equi-molar betaine and choline in terms of pig performance and carcass characteristics.

Current suggestions for the upper limit for the total gucosinolate content of oilseed rape are around 20 μmol/g of seed, which corresponds to a level in the de-fatted meal of approximately 33 μ mol/g. Information about the suitability of this material for incorporation in growing pig diets is required by the UK feed industry. When attempting to provide the required information the presence of factors such as tannins, sinapine and phytate in rapeseed meal should be considered, as must the high (≈ 120 g/kg) fibre content of the material. This experiment was designed to examine growing pig performance from 30 to 75 kg liveweight when fed diets containing increasing levels of rapeseed meal at both fixed and increasing glucosinolate contents.

Pig Performance

Field observations suggest an increased incidence of digestive disorders (e.g. non-specific colitis) when growing pigs are offered diets containing high levels of wheat, particularly when the diet is offered in pellet rather than in meal form. This may be due to the anti-nutritive effects of wheat non-starch polysaccharides, with the possibility that such effects are increased following diet processing. Additionally, the provocative effects of wheat on digestive disorders may involve a change in gut microbial balance, which in turn may influence the production of fermentation end products such as skatole. High skatole concentrations (> 0.2 ppm) in carcass fat can adversely influence the sensory quality of pig meat. In this study the aim was to evaluate the effect of diet processing and feed enzyme (xylanase) supplementation of wheat based diets on the performance, general health and carcass skatole levels in growing pigs.
