Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of oregano essential oil(OEO) on growth performance, serum hormone indexes and small intestine tissues insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ (IGF-Ⅰ) content of weaned piglets. One hundred and twenty 25-day-old weaned piglets (Large White×Landrace) with similar average body weight were selected and randomly allocated into 4 groups with 3 replicates per group and 10 piglets per replicate. Piglets in the control group were fed a basal diet, and the others in the experimental groups were fed the basal diets supplemented with 300, 500 and 800 mg/kg OEO, respectively. The pre-experimental period lasted for 5 days, and the experimental period lasted for 30 days. The results showed that compared with the control group, the average daily feed intake of weaned piglets at day 1 to 30 in the three experimental groups was significantly increased (P<0.01), the average daily gain was significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the diarrhea rate was significantly decreased (P<0.01); the serum IGF-Ⅰ content of weaned piglets at day 15 in the three experimental groups was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the serum IGF-Ⅰ content at day 30 was significantly increased (P<0.01); the content of IGF-Ⅰ in duodenum and ileum of weaned piglets in the three experimental groups was significantly increased (P<0.01). In conclusion, diet supplemented with OEO can improve the content of IGF-Ⅰ in serum and small intestine tissues, and improve the growth of weaned piglets.
