Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary cello-oligosaccharide on growth performance, colonic microflora and intestinal mucosal permeability of growing pigs. A total of 96 growing pigs (Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire) with an average body weight of 20 kg were randomly allocated into 4 groups with 3 replicates per group and 8 pigs per replicate. Pigs in the control group were fed a basal diet, and pigs in the experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3% cello-oligosaccharide, respectively. The experiment lasted for 42 days. The results showed as follows: compared with the control group, pigs fed diets with 0.2% cello-oligosaccharide had the best performance, the average daily gain was significantly increased by 7.51% (P<0.05), and feed/gain was significantly decreased by 5.93% (P<0.05); the supplementation of 0.2% cello-oligosaccharide significantly increased the number of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus (P<0.05), and significantly reduced the number of Escherichia coli and Clostridium in colon (P<0.05); through the Ussing chamber technology, pigs fed diets with 0.2% cello-oligosaccharide had higher transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) and lower mucosal-to-serosal flux of 4 ku-fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (FD4) permeability in colonic epithelium (P<0.05). The supplementation of 0.3% cello-oligosaccharide had significant effects on above indexes (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between 0.3% and 0.2% cello-oligosaccharide supplementation (P>0.05). The supplementation of 0.1% cello-oligosaccharide did not affect above indexes (P>0.05). In conclusion, the supplementation of cello-oligosaccharide can significantly improve the growth performance, colonic microflora and colonic mucosal barrier function of growing pigs. The optimal supplemental level of cello-oligosaccharide for growing pigs is 0.2%.
