Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of plant essential oil and sodium butyrate compound preparation on growth performance, serum antioxidant indices, fecal flora and ammonia loss of weaner piglets. A total of 300 healthy 28-day-old "Duroc×Langdrance×Large White" piglets with an average body weight of (11.20±0.29) kg were randomly allocated to 3 groups with 4 replicates per group and 25 piglets per replicate. Piglets in the control group were fed a basal diet, piglets in the plant essential oil group (EO group) were fed the basal diet+1 000 mg/kg plant essential oil preparation, and piglets in the plant essential oil and sodium butyrate compound group (ES group) were fed the basal diet+1 000 mg/kg plant essential oil and sodium butyrate compound preparation. The experiment lasted for 28 days. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, the final weight of EO and ES groups was increased by 2.64% (P>0.05) and 3.40% (P<0.05), respectively; the average daily gain of EO and ES groups was increased by 4.74% (P<0.05) and 6.48% (P<0.05), respectively. The average daily feed intake of EO and ES groups was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05), and the ratio of feed to gain was lower that of control group (P>0.05). 2) At the 14th day, the serum total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) of EO and ES groups was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05), the serum malondialdehyde (MDA) was significantly lower than that of control group (P<0.05). At the 28th day, the T-AOC of EO group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). 3) The fecal Escherichia coli number of EO and ES groups was significantly lower than that of control group at the 7th, 14th and 21st day (P<0.05), the fecal Escherichia coli number of ES group was significantly lower than that of EO group at the 7th and 14th days (P<0.05). The fecal Lactobacillus number of EO and ES groups was significantly higher than that of control group at the 7th and 14th day (P<0.05), the fecal Lactobacillus number of ES group was significantly higher than that of EO group at the 7th day (P<0.05), the fecal Lactobacillus number of ES group was significantly higher than that of control group at the 21st day (P<0.05). 4) The fecal ammoniacal nitrogen content and urease activity of EO and ES groups were significantly lower than those of control group at the 14th and 28th day (P<0.05). At the 14th day, the fecal ammoniacal nitrogen content of ES group was significantly lower than that of EO group (P<0.05); at the 28th day, the fecal ammoniacal nitrogen content and urease activity of ES group were significantly lower than those of EO group (P<0.05). The results suggested that both plant essential oil preparation and plant essential oil and sodium butyrate compound preparation have positive effect on growth performance, serum antioxidant indices, fecal flora and ammonia loss of piglets, and the plant essential oil and sodium butyrate compound preparation has better effect.
