Abstract

This experiment aimed to evaluate the effects of low levels of zinc methionine (Zn-Met) or zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) on growth performance, serum antioxidant indices and utilization of trace elements to determine the appropriate level of zinc in diets for growing-finishing pigs, so that realize the high efficient utilization of resources, and reduce the environmental impact of zinc in excreta. Thirty-two growing-finishing pigs (Duroc×Landrace×Largewhite) with average weight of (33.70±2.76) kg were randomly divided into 4 groups with 8 replicates (1 pig per replicate). The control group was fed a basal diet, while experimental groups were fed the basal diets supplemented with 40 mg/kg Zn-Met, 40 mg/kg ZnSO4 and 80 mg/kg ZnSO4 (calculate by zinc), respectively. There was a 72-day experimental period including 2 stages of a growing period and a finishing period after 7-day adaptation. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, there were no significant differences on average daily gain weight, average daily feed intake and feed to gain ratio of growing-finishing pigs with different zinc sources and levels (P>0.05). 2) Compared with the control group, dietary zinc sources and levels could significantly increase the activity of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), glutathion peroxidase (GSH-Px) and copper and zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) (P<0.05), whereas could remarkably decrease the malondialdehyde (MDA) content (P<0.05) in serum of growing-finishing pigs. Besides, group with 40 mg/kg Zn-Met got the highest activity of T-SOD and GSH-Px and the lowest MDA content in serum, while the serum CuZn-SOD activity was increased with the addition of ZnSO4, which was the highest in 80 mg/kg ZnSO4 group. 3) Compared with the control group, dietary Zn-Met significantly increased the apparent absorptivity of zine, copper and manganese (P<0.05), while dietary ZnSO4 only significantly increased the apparent absorptivity of zinc (P<0.05) which was decreased with the ZnSO4 addition. Meanwhile, the apparent absorptivity of zinc in the 40 mg/kg Zn-Met group was the highest. It is concluded that both zinc sources and levels can't significantly promote the growth performance, but can significantly improve the serum antioxidant indices and apparent absorptivity of trace elements of growing-finishing pigs. Under this experimental conditions, the suitable ZnSO4 supplementation level for growing-finishing pigs should be below 80 mg/kg, while 40 mg/kg Zn-Met gets a better effect.
