Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the feasibility of recombinant Lactococcus lactis expressing porcine lactoferrin as an ecological friendly secure additive to substitute antibiotics feeding weaner piglets. A total of 36 weaner piglets with similar body weight were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups with 3 replicates in each group and 4 piglets in each replicate. The control group was fed a basal diet, the antibiotics group was fed the basal diet added 20 mg/kg flavomycin and 110 mg/kg chlortetracycline, while the trial group was fed the basal diet added recombinant Lactococcus lactis fermentation liquid (supplement according to the body weight of piglets, and the contain of porcine lactoferrin was 50 μg/kg per piglet per day) once a day. The experiment lasted for 21 days. The results showed that adding the recombinant Lactococcus lactis expressing porcine lactoferrin in the piglet diet, average daily gain was significantly higher than that in control group (P0.05); the content of interleukin-1 in serum was significantly higher than that in control group and antibiotics group (P<0.05), the content of interleukin-2 in serum was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.01), and significantly higher than that in antibiotics group (P<0.05). Adding recombinant Lactococcus lactis expressing porcine lactoferrin in weaner piglet diets can promote the growth of piglet intestinal mucosal villus, improve piglet feed utilization rate, decrease the feed/gain, at the same time, strengthen the piglet immune function, and has the effect of improving piglet growth performance.
