Abstract

The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplemented with cysteamine chelated zinc (Zn-CS) on growth performance, serum biochemical indices, nutrient digestibility and fecal microbial flora of piglets.Two hundreds piglets with average body weight of (10.15±1.38) kg were randomly divided into 5 group with 4 replicates per group and 10 piglets per replicate.Piglets in the control group were fed a basal diet, and the other in the experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 24, 32, 40 and 48 mg/kg Zn-CS.The trial last for 28 days.The results showed as follows: 1) dietary supplemented with Zn-CS had significant effects on average daily gain (ADG) of piglets during any experiment period (P<0.05).The ADG of 48 mg/kg group was significantly higher than that of control group during 1 to 14 days (P<0.01).The ADG of 48 mg/kg group was significantly higher than that of control group during 15 to 28 days and 1 to 28 days (P<0.05).The feed to gain of 48 mg/kg group was significantly lower than that of control group during 15 to 28 days (P<0.01).The diarrhea rate of 32, 40 and 48 mg/kg groups was significantly lower than that of control group during 1 to 28 days (P<0.01).2) Dietary supplemented with Zn-CS had significant effects on the content of growth hormone, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, insulin, immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin G in serum and T-lymphocytes conversion rate (P<0.05 or P<0.01).3) The digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, ether extract and calcium of 40 and 48 mg/kg groups was significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.05).The fecal E.coli number of experimental groups was significantly lower than that of control group (P<0.05).All over, the right amount of Zn-CS added in diets can effectively increase growth performance, decrease diarrhea rate, improve immune function, and improve nutrient digestibility of piglets.It is conclude that the suitable dietary Zn-CS supplemental level of piglets is 48 mg/kg.
