This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of probiotics (Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecium) and xylo-oligosaccharide (XOS) supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, serum profiles, intestinal health, fecal microbiota and noxious gas emission in weanling pigs.
A total of 240 weanling pigs ([Yorkshire×Landrace]×Duroc) with an average body weight (BW) of 6.3±0.15 kg were used in this 28-day trial. Pigs were randomly allocated in 1 of the following 4 dietary treatments in a 2×2 factorial arrangement with 2 levels of probiotics (0 and 500 mg/kg probiotics) and XOS (0 and 200 mg/kg XOS) based on the BW and sex.
Administration of probiotics or XOS improved average daily gain (p<0.05) during 0 to 14 d and the overall period, while pigs that were treated with XOS had a greater average daily gain and feed efficiency (p<0.05) compared with unsupplemented treatments throughout 15 to 28 d and the whole experiment. Either probiotics or XOS treatments increased the apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients (p<0.05) during 0 to 14 d. No effects on serum profiles were observed among treatments. The XOS increased villus height: crypt depth ratio in jejunum (p<0.05). The supplementation of probiotics (500 mg/kg) or XOS (200 mg/kg) alone improved the apparent total tract digestibility of dry matter, nitrogen and gross energy on d 14, the activity of trypsin and decreased fecal NH3 concentration (p<0.05). Administration of XOS decreased fecal Escherichia coli counts (p<0.05), while increased lactobacilli (p<0.05) on d 14. There was no interaction between dietary supplementation of probiotics and XOS.
Inclusion of XOS at 200 mg/kg or probiotics (Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecium) at 500 mg/kg in diets containing no antibiotics significantly improved the growth performance of weanling pigs. Once XOS is supplemented, further providing of probiotics is not needed since it exerts little additional effects.
本研究旨在评估添加益生菌(枯草芽孢杆菌和屎肠球菌)和低聚木糖(XOS)对断奶仔猪生长性能、养分消化率、血清指标、肠道健康、粪便微生物群及有害气体排放的影响。
本为期28天的试验共选用240头平均体重(BW)为6.3±0.15千克的断奶仔猪([约克夏×长白]×杜洛克)。根据体重和性别,将仔猪按2×2析因设计随机分为以下4种日粮处理组之一,分别添加2种水平的益生菌(0和500毫克/千克益生菌)和XOS(0和200毫克/千克XOS)。
在0至14天及整个试验期内,添加益生菌或XOS可提高平均日增重(p<0.05),而在15至28天及整个试验期内,添加XOS的仔猪平均日增重和饲料效率更高(p<0.05)。在0至14天内,益生菌或XOS处理均可提高养分的表观全肠道消化率(p<0.05)。各处理组间血清指标无显著差异。XOS可提高空肠绒毛高度与隐窝深度之比(p<0.05)。单独添加益生菌(500毫克/千克)或XOS(200毫克/千克)可提高第14天干物质、氮和总能的表观全肠道消化率,提高胰蛋白酶活性并降低粪便氨浓度(p<0.05)。添加XOS可降低第14天粪便大肠杆菌数量(p<0.05),同时增加乳酸杆菌数量(p<0.05)。日粮中添加益生菌和XOS之间无交互作用。
在不含抗生素的日粮中添加200毫克/千克XOS或500毫克/千克益生菌(枯草芽孢杆菌和屎肠球菌)可显著提高断奶仔猪的生长性能。一旦添加了XOS,无需进一步添加益生菌,因为其额外效果甚微。
