Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary β-glucan on growth performance, carcass performance and meat quality of growing-finishing pigs, aiming to determine the application effect and suitable supplemental level of β-glucan in growing-finishing pigs' diet. Single factor test design was adopted in this experiment and a total of 96 healthy Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire pigs with an initial average body weight of 20 kg were randomly allocated into 4 groups with 6 replicates per group and 4 pigs per replicate. Pigs in the control group were fed a basal diet, while in the experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg β-glucan, respectively. The experiment lasted for 103 days. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, diet supplemented with 100 mg/kg β-glucan significantly increased the average daily gain (P<0.05), significantly reduced the ratio of feed to gain (P<0.05), and significantly improved the digestibility of dry matter, energy and crude protein (P<0.05) of growing-finishing pigs. 2) Compared with the control group, diet supplemented with 100 mg/kg β-glucan significantly increased carcass length and muscle pH of growing-finishing pigs (P<0.05), significantly reduced muscle drip loss and then significantly improved meat color (P<0.05), significantly increased the inosine monophosphate content in muscle (P<0.05) and changed the proportion of saturated fatty acid and unsaturated fatty acid in pork, thereby improving the flavor of meat. In conclusion, diet supplemented with 100 mg/kg β-glucan can improve growth performance, nutrient digestibility, carcass length and meat quality of growing-finishing pigs.
