No impact of a phytogenic feed additive on digestion and unspecific immune reaction in piglets
No full textTwo 35 day experiments were conducted to examine the influence of a commercial phytogenic feed additive (PFA) on nutrient digestibility and unspecific immune reaction of piglets in the post-weaning period. The PFA composition was inulin, an essential oil mix (carvacrol and thymol), chestnut meal (tannins), and cellulose powder as carrier substance. In each experiment, immediately after weaning 40 male castrated piglets were divided into four experimental groups (n = 10). Diets were based on wheat, barley, soy bean meal and fishmeal using lysine as the first limiting amino acid. In experiment 1, graded levels of the PFA were supplied (A: control; B: 0.05% PFA; C: 0.1% PFA; D: 0.15% PFA). Experiment 2 utilized equal diets with 0.1% of the PFA, but different lysine supply (A: control; B: 0.1% PFA; C: +0.35% lysine; D: 0.1% PFA + 0.35% lysine). At the end of the experimental period, acute phase proteins (APPs) haptoglobin and C-reactive protein were examined in individual blood plasma samples. Following each growth study, 16 animals (n = 4) were taken for sampling of ileal chyme and assessing of praecaecal digestibility of protein and amino acids. In addition, digesta samples of the duodenum and the total pancreatic tissue were utilized for determining the enzyme activity of alpha-amylase and trypsin. APP, praecaecal digestibility and enzyme activities did not significantly respond to the PFA supplementaion in diets
Growth and parameters of microflora in intestinal and faecal samples of piglets due to application of a phytogenic feed additive
No full textA commercial phytogenic feed additive (PFA), containing the fructopolysaccharide inulin, an essential oil mix (carvacrol, thymol), chestnut meal (tannins) and cellulose powder as carrier substance, was examined for effects on growth and faecal and intestinal microflora of piglets. Two experiments (35 days) were conducted, each with 40 male castrated weaned piglets. In experiment 1, graded levels of the PFA were supplied (A1: control; B1: 0.05% PFA; C1: 0.1% PFA; D1: 0.15% PFA) in diets based on wheat, barley, soybean meal and fish meal with lysine as the limiting amino acid. In experiment 2, a similar diet with 0.1% of the PFA (A2: control; B2: 0.1% PFA; C2: +0.35% lysine; D2: 0.1% PFA + 0.35% lysine) and lysine supplementation was utilized. During experiment 1, no significant effect of the PFA on growth, feed intake and feed conversion rate was observed (p > 0.05). Lysine supplementation in experiment 2 improved growth performance significantly, but no significant effect of the PFA was detected. Microbial counts in faeces (aerobes, Gram negatives, anaerobes and lactobacilli) during the first and fifth week did not indicate any significant PFA effect (p > 0.05). In addition, microflora in intestinal samples was not significantly modified by supplementing the PFA (p > 0.05). Lysine supplementation indicated lysine as limiting amino acid in the basal diet, but did not influence the microbial counts in faeces and small intestine respectively
Lysine efficiency in piglets fed diets with a phytogenic feed additive and conclusion of lysine requirement data
No full textTwo experiments were conducted to examine effects of a commercial phytogenic feed additive (PEA), containing inulin, an essential oil mix (carvacrol, thymol), and chest nut meal (polyphenols) on nutrient digestibility, protein utilization, and lysine efficiency in piglets. Each experiment utilized sixteen piglets (male castrated, 8 wk) and four experimental groups. Experiment I studied graded levels of the PEA (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15%) in lysine limited diets (wheat, barley, soyabcan meal, fish meal). Experiment 2 examined 0.1% of the PFA and two dietary levels of lysine. The results indicated that apparent nutrient digestibility, protein utilization, and lysine efficiency were not significantly affected by the PEA (P>0.05). Observed daily lysine requirements (7.3, 9.9 and 13.1 g for 76, 100, 124 g daily protein deposition) in growing barrows (20-30 kg body weight) were in line with recommendations and contribute to the limited database for modelling of lysine requirements in piglets
