Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Piper sarmentosum extracts (PSE) on the growth performance and blood indexes of weaned piglets.Eighty 21-day-old weaned piglets were selected and randomly allocated into four groups with five replicates per group and 4 piglets per replicate.Piglets were fed a basal diet supplemented with PSE at 0, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg for 28 days.The results showed as follows: compared with control group, average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) from day 1 to day 28 and day 15 to day 28 of piglets fed the diet supplemented with PSE at 50 mg/kg were significantly increased (P<0.05).PSE could increase the number of platelets (PLT) in the blood and significantly increase the serum contents of total protein (TP), globulin (GLB), immunoglobulin (Ig)G, IgA, IgM (P<0.05).Meanwhile, dietary PSE supplementation reduced the serum activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST), and contents of cholesterin (CHOL) and urea nitrogen (UN) of piglets.The conclusion shows that dietary PSE supplementation with 50 mg/kg can improve the ADFI of weaned piglets, while dietary PSE supplementation can improve immune function, liver function, and promote protein synthesis and metabolism of weaned piglets.
