Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to study the effects of dietary functional compound additive supplementation on growth performance and immune function of growing pigs. Twenty Duroc×Landrace×Large (DLY) healthy pigs with an initial body weight of (21.06±1.98) kg were randomly divided into two groups with 10 replicates per group and 1 pig per replicate. Pigs were fed the basal diet (control group) or the diet added 0.1% functional compound additive (additive group) for 14 days. The results showed that compared with the control group, dietary functional compound additive supplementation significantly increased the average daily gain (ADG) of growing pigs (P<0.05), significantly increased the serum interleukin-10 (IL-10) content of growing pigs (P<0.01), significantly reduced the serum urea nitrogen (UN) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) contents (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and significantly decreased the mRNA relative expressions of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) and IL-1 receptor associated kinase 1 (IRAK1), which is the key genes of Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathway, in white blood cells of growing pigs (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Collectively, above results indicate that dietary functional compound additive supplementation can improve the growth performance via improving the utilization of protein and regulating the immune function of growing pigs.
