Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of the supplementation of sorbic acid in sow diets on performance and serum biochemical indices of lactating sows and suckling piglets and the concentration of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) in colostrum. Eighteen purebred Yorkshire sows with the same genetic background, first parity and similar body condition and expected date of birth were randomly allotted to three treatments with six replicates (each replicate containing one sow), and fed a basal diet supplemented with 0 (control), 0.125% and 0.200% sorbic acid, respectively. The experiment was carried out from day 84 of gestation to day 21 of lactation. Results showed that the supplementation of 0.200% sorbic acid in sow diets increased backfat losses (0.63 and 1.10 mm, P<0.10 and P<0.05) and average daily milk yield (18.44% and 13.46%, P<0.10) of lactating sows and average daily gain (16.84% and 13.49%, P<0.10) and litter weight (7.80% and 10.40%, P<0.05) of suckling piglets in 1 to 7 days and 1 to 21 days of lactation, significantly increased the concentration of NEFA in colostrum and serum of piglets (day 7 of lactation) and serum insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ (IGF-Ⅰ) concentration (day 7 of lactation) of lactating sows and suckling piglets (P<0.05), and significantly decreased serum urea nitrogen (day 1 and day 7 of lactation, respectively) and cortisol (day 7 of lactation) concentrations of lactating sows and suckling piglets (P<0.05). These results indicate that the supplementation of 0.200% sorbic acid in sow diets can increase colostrum NEFA concentration and serum IGF-Ⅰ concentration of lactating sows and suckling piglets on day 7 of lactation, and improve performance of suckling piglets.
