Effects of Inulin and Acanthopanax senticosus Extract on Growth Performance, Serum Biochemical Parameters, and Intestinal Morphology of Early-weaned Piglets

Abstract

Abstract:

One hundred and twenty three-way cross piglets weaned at 21 d with initial average weight 5.64±0.46 kg were selected in the experiment. The piglets were fed with the following diets for 14 days: 1) NC (Control diet without antibiotics), 2) PC (Control diet + Antibiotics), and 3) E group (Control diet + 5% Inulin + 0.1% Acanthopanax senticosus (AS) extract). Effects of diets supplement with Inulin and AS extract on growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, antioxidant function, and intestinal morphology were observed. The results showed that, ADG of E group were significantly improved (P<0.05) and ratio of feed and growth (F/G) were significantly decreased (P<0.05) compared to the NC, while no significant difference were observed in ADFI (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in serum GLU, LDL, LDH and BUN between NC and E group (P>0.05), while on 14 d, ALP, SOD and GSH were significantly improved (P<0.05). Compared to the NC, Crypt depth of duodenum and ileum and villus height of jejunum and ileum of E group were significantly improved (P<0.05). This study demonstrated that supplement with compound of Inulin and AS extract had important functions on growth performance and digestion of small intestine of early-weaned piglets.
