Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) on growth performance and the jejunum activities of digestive enzymes of weaned piglets. Seventy-two weaned piglets aged 28 d were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 replicates per group and 3 weaned piglets per replicate for 35 d. The 4 groups were control group (basal diet), adsorbent group (basal diet+0.25% adsorbent), AFB1 group (moldy corn diet, expected content of AFB1 was 300 μg/kg) and AFB1+adsorbent group (moldy corn diet+0.25% adsorbent). On day 22 to day 28, digestion experiment was carried out with endogenous indicator. The results showed as follows:AFB1 had no significant influences on the growth performance, the apparent digestibility of crude protein (CP), ash, digestible energy (DE), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P), and the jejunum activity of digestive enzymes (P>0.05). Liver tissue of piglets receiving AFBl alone showed the disordered hepatic cord, serious granular and vacuole degeneration. The addition of adsorbent in the AFB1 diets diminished the inhibitory effects of dietary AFB1 on the liver tissue, reduced the activity of disaccharidase and increased the activity of oligopeptidase, but those effects were not significant (P>0.05). AFB1 and adsorbent had a tendency to interact the apparent digestibility of Ca and the activity of aminopeptidase (P=0.05). In conclusion, though the diet with 300 μg/kg AFB1 in piglets has no significant effects on the growth performance, intestinal digestive and absorptive function, and the organizational structure of liver has some injury to some extent. After adding 0.25% adsorbent to moldy corn group, the results express that the effects of the growth performance, intestinal digestive and absorptive function are not observed, the negative symptom of liver tissue are alleviated to some degree, but not restore to the normal state. Nonetheless, adsorbent added to the control group reduces the disaccharidase and oligopeptidase of jejunal.
