Abstract

The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effects of different formulations of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, capacity of intestinal absorption and blood parameters of weaner piglets. Ninety piglets (Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire) weaned at 22 days of age were selected for the study. They were randomly divided into 3 groups, and the dietary treatments of these three groups were as follows: a based diet contained 2.9% soybean oil (CT group), the basal diet contained 1.4% MCT oil (MO group), and the basal diet contained 1.4% MCT powder (MP group), respectively. The experiment lasted for 28 days. The results showed as follows: compared with CT group, the average daily gain of MP group was significantly higher than that of CT group by 13.15% from 1 to 14 days (P<0.05); MCT powder significantly enhanced the content of D-xylose in plasma on day 14 (P<0.05); the different formulations of MCT significantly increased the content of total protein (P<0.05) and MCT powder significantly decreased the content of urea nitrogen in plasma on day 14 (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in above parameters among these three groups from 15 to 28 days and during the whole experimental period (P>0.05). In conclusion, replacing part of soybean oil with MCT can improve intestinal absorption capacity and protein metabolism, and enhance the growth performance of weaner piglets during the first 2 weeks post-weaning.

Key words： medium-chain triglycerides; weaner piglet; growth performance; digestive function; blood parameters
