Dietary Treatments

A total of 160 crossbred weanling pigs [(Landrace × Yorkshire) × Duroc, 28 days old] with an initial bodyweight of 8.01 ± 0.74 kg were used in a 42-day trial (Phase 1: Days 1–14, Phase 2: Days 14–42). The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of the inclusion of fermented oats (FO) to a corn and soybean meal-based diet on the performance of weanling pigs fed with high nutrient-density (HD) and low nutrient-density (LD) diets. Pigs were randomly distributed into one of four dietary treatments in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement. Two levels of nutrient density [LD = 3323 (Phase 1: 1–14 days) and 3269 kcal/kg (Phase 2: 14–42 days); HD = 3446 (Phase 1: 1–14 days) and 3325 kcal/kg (Phase 2: 14–42 days), the differences in dietary energy were based on differences in the content of fish meal, animal fat, corn and FO [0%, 5% (Phase 1) or 2.5% (Phase 2)] were used according to the bodyweight and sex of pigs [8 replicate pens per treatment with 5 pigs in a pen (3 gilts and 2 barrows)]. During the overall trial period (Days 1–42), the average daily gain and gain:feed ratio of pigs fed HD and FO diets were significantly higher (P ≤ 0.05) than those of pigs fed with LD and non-fermented oats diets respectively. On Day 14, the apparent total tract digestibility of dry matter and nitrogen of the HD groups were significantly greater (P ≤ 0.05) than those of the LD groups. The apparent total tract digestibility of energy of the FO groups was significantly greater (P ≤ 0.05) than that of the non-fermented oats diet groups during the whole experimental period. Pigs fed with FO showed higher (P ≤ 0.05) ileal Lactobacillus and lower (P ≤ 0.05) Escherichia coli counts compared with those fed with the non-fermented oats diet. In conclusion, administration of FO to a LD diet demonstrated beneficial effects on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility and ileal microorganisms balance of weanling pigs.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of carbohydrases on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood profiles, and fecal microbiota in weanling pigs fed reduced energy diet. A total of 160 crossbred [(Yorkshire × Landrace) × Duroc)] weanling pigs with an initial body weight (BW) of 7.23 ± 1.08 kg were used in this 42 d trial. Pigs were randomly allocated in one of the following four dietary treatments: (1) CON, basal diet [net energy (NE) 2545 kcal kg−1]; (2) LE, low-energy diet (NE 2470 kcal kg−1); (3) LEC1, LE + 0.1% carbohydrase; and (4) LEC2, LE + 0.2% carbohydrase based on the sex and BW. There were eight replications (pens) per treatment with five pigs (two male and three female) per pen. During day 0–7, pigs fed with LE diet had lower (P < 0.05) average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake than those fed with CON and LEC2 diets. LE group reduced (P < 0.05) ADG throughout the experiment compared with CON and LEC2 groups. LE group reduced (P < 0.05) the digestibility of dry matter, nitrogen, and gross energy compared with LEC2 diet. Taken together, LE diet caused detrimental effects on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in weanlings, whereas the addition of carbohydrases (0.2%) partially counteracted these negative effects.
