This study investigated the effects of supplementing the diets of 14–70-day calves with dietary bee pollen (BP) or its polysaccharides (PS) on growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, and apparent nutrient digestibility. Twenty-five newborn Holstein female calves were randomly offered one of the five diets (five calves per diet): a milk replacer supplemented with 0 (Control), 10 (10BP), 25 (25BP), or 50 g/day (50BP) bee pollen, or 5 g/day (5PS) bee pollen polysaccharides. The trial lasted 56 days, during which growth performance, apparent nutrient digestibility, and serum biochemical parameters were measured. Calves fed diets with BP had a greater bodyweight gain. Supplementation with BP or PS had significant effects on the apparent digestibility of DM, Ca and P in calves (P = 0.025, 0.012, and 0.076, respectively). The apparent DM digestibility of calves from group 25BP or 5PS was increased by 9.7% or 8.2% (P = 0.007 or 0.019), respectively, compared with that in the Control group. No significant differences were observed in serum concentrations of alkaline phosphatase, urea nitrogen, glucose, total protein, albumin, total cholesterol and triglycerides. These results demonstrated that dietary supplementation of BP at 25 g/day·calf or PS at 5 g/day·calf improved nutrient digestibility in pre-ruminant calves.

The present experiment was conducted to study the effects of different levels of oligosaccharide(FOS) and complex CPP preparation(CPP) in diets on growth performance and serum biochemical parameters for weaned piglets. 240 crossbred DLY( Duroc× Landrace× Yorkshire) 21-day-old weaning piglets, about 7.2 kg in initial body weight were selected and randomly divided into 6 groups, with 2 repeats for each group, 20 each repeat(half male and half female.). Group 1, as the control group, was fed base diet(BD), group 2 was fed BD adding 0.10% aureomycin, group 3, 4, 5, 6, respectively, was fed BD adding 0.05% CPP, 0.05% FOS, 0.20% FOS and 0.10% FOS + 0.05% of CPP. Feeding trial was conducted for 35 days. Results: (1) The combination of 0.10%FOS and 0.05%CPP(group 6) were added, the average daily gain of weaned pigs increased by 13.71 % (P < 0.05) and the feed conversion ratio was reduced by 7.41 % (P < 0.05) compared with control. The diarrhea rate of piglets decreased by 94.63 % (P < 0.01) compared with the control (p < 0.05), and decreased by 62.86 % (P <0.05) compared with group 2.(2)There was no significant difference in the apparent digestibility of nutrient, such as ether extract and crude protein, by adding FOS and CPP individually or jointly in diet of weaned piglets, but apparent digestibility of crude fiber increased , to acertain extent, and there was no significant difference with diet adding 0.10 % of antibiotics (group 2)(P >0.05).(3) There was no significant difference in serum biochemical indexes, such as serum total protein, albumin, urea nitrogen, cholesterol, triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and sugar by adding FOS and CPP individually or jointly in diet of weaned piglets (P > 0.05);there was no significant effect in serum immunoglobulin IgG and IgM (P> 0.05), but the serum IgE content was increased in different degrees. Conclusion: Adding FOS and CPP in diet for weaned piglets can improve the growth performance, reduce diarrhea rate of piglets, and promote digestion and absorption of feed nutrients, without significant difference between them and diet adding antibiotics. Among them, the effect of adding 0.10%FOS+0.05%CPP was the best.
