Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of different iron sources and levels on blood physiological and biochemical parameters, colostrous and placental iron content, serum antioxidant properties of pregnant sows. Forty-five pregnancy sows (Landrace×Yorkshire) with similar parity (3 to 4 fetal) at 28 days prior to farrowing were randomly divided into 9 groups with 5 replicates per group. The control group was fed a basal diet, and the experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented (calculated as iron)with 50, 80, 110 and 140 mg/kg glycine iron (Fe-Gly) or ferrous sulfate (FeSO4·H2O) for 28 day, respectively. The results showed as follows: 1) Fe-Gly or FeSO4·H2O supplemented diet significantly increased red blood cell (RBC) count and hemoglobin (HGB) content (P<0.05) of sow. The HGB content of Fe-Gly group tended to be increased compared with FeSO4·H2O group (P=0.098). 2) Fe-Gly or FeSO4·H2O supplemented diet significantly improved the contents of serum ferritin (FE) and serum iron (SI) of sows, however, significantly decreased total iron binding capacity (TIBC) (P<0.05), and the effect of Fe-Gly was better than that of FeSO4·H2O. 3)Fe-Gly or FeSO4·H2O supplemented diet significantly improved colostrous iron content(P<0.05). Fe-Gly supplemented diet increased the colostrous iron and placental iron content compared with the FeSO4·H2O group (P<0.05). 4) Fe-Gly or FeSO4·H2O supplemented diet significantly improved serum total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities (P<0.05),the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in serum was significantly decreased (P<0.05). At the same level, the effect of Fe-Gly was better than that of FeSO4·H2O. In conclusion, different iron sources and levels have significant influence on iron nutritional status and serum antioxidant properties of sows in the present study, and the effect of that of Fe-Gly was better than FeSO4·H2O. According to the HGB content of sows, and taking other indicators into consideration, the suitable levels (calculated as iron) of Fe-Gly and FeSO4·H2O in diet of sows are 80 and 110 mg/kg, respectively.
