Abstract

The present study was conducted to explore the effects of disodium fumarate (DF) on growth performance, ruminal fermentation function and gastrointestinal tract development of early weaning lambs. Thirty male lambs with (50±5) days of age and (25±2) kg of body weight were selected and randomly allocated into three groups with ten sheep in each group. Lambs in control group were fed a basal diet, the experimental groups were added 0.5% and 1.0% DF on the basis of diet, respectively. The trial lasted for 70 days. The results showed as follows: 1) the addition of DF increased average daily gain, and 1.0% group was significantly higher than control group (P<0.05). 2) DF had no significant effect on rumen fluid pH (P>0.05), but significantly decreased ammonia nitrogen concentration (P<0.05); DF significantly decreased lactic acid concentration in rumen fluid (P<0.01); compared with control group, the concentrations of total volatile fatty acid, acetate acid and propionate in 1.0% group were significantly increased (P<0.05). 3) The villi height of intestinal tract in experimental groups was higher than that in control group, and that of duodenum, jejunum and ileum in 0.5% group was significantly increased by 30.3%, 30.6%, 46.1% (P<0.05), respectively; the ratio of villi height to crypt depth of duodenum in experimental groups was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05), and that in 0.5% group was increased by 58.6%; compared with control group, the height of papilla on ruminal wall in 0.5% and 1.0% groups was increased by 139.84 and 156.74 μm (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the density of papilla between experimental groups and control group (P>0.05). In general, it is revealed that DF addition can improve growth performance of weaning lambs, and stimulate the gastrointestinal tract development of early weaning lambs.
