Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) on performance, lactation sows feces, serum physiological and biochemical indexes of lactating sows and growth performance of piglets. Thirty healthy second fetal Large white pregnancy sows at body weight of (164.50±4.50) kg with similar pre production period, randomly divided into 5 groups, with 6 replicates per group and each consisting of 1 sow. There were control group (basal diet), group Ⅰ (basal diet+0.2% Na2SO4+0.1% MgSO4), group Ⅱ (basal diet+0.2% Na2SO4+0.2% MgSO4), group Ⅲ (basal diet+0.4% Na2SO4+0.1% MgSO4) and group Ⅳ (basal diet+0.4% Na2SO4+0.2% MgSO4), respectively. Test started from pregnancy to 21 d of lactation in sows. The results showed as follows: compared with control group, 1) group Ⅲ significantly improved the total lactation yield of 21 d of lactation sows (P<0.05); 2) group Ⅲ significantly increased the weaning weight and average daily gain of piglets (P<0.05); 3) group Ⅲ significantly improved the quality of lactation sow feces of whole phase (P<0.01); 4) group Ⅲ significantly improved the serum contents of urea nitrogen and prolactin of lactation sows (P<0.05). Thus it can be seen in lactation sows fodder add right amount of Na2SO4 and MgSO4 can improve the performance of lactation sows, also have good effect to improve the quality of nursing sow feces, and encourage growth performance of piglets.
