Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary daidzein (DA) on reproductive performance, serum hormone contents, antioxidant capacity and immune function of pregnant sows. Forty Landrace×Yorkshire hybrid sows with similar body weight and 3 to 5 parity were randomly divided into 2 group with 20 replicates per group and 1 sow per replicate after pregnant. The 2 group were control group (a basal diet) and DA group (the basal diet+200 mg/kg DA), respectively. The experiment lasted for 114 days. The results showed as follows:compared with control group, 1) dietary DA significantly increased the weight of piglets birth per litter and the number of viable piglets per litter (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the number of total piglets per litter, the number of live piglets per litter and the weight of individual piglets (P>0.05). 2) Dietary DA extremely significantly increased the contents of progesterone (P) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in serum of sows at day 85 of gestation (P<0.01), and significantly increased the contents of estrogen (E) and leptin (LEP) in serum at day 35 and 85 of gestation (P<0.05). 3) Dietary DA significantly increased the content of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in serum of sows at day 35 and 85 of gestation (P<0.01 or P<0.05). 4) Dietary DA extremely significantly increased the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in serum of sows at day 35 and 85 of gestation (P<0.01), and significantly increased total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in serum at day 85 of gestation (P<0.05). In summary, dietary DA can improve reproductive performance, regulate serum reproductive hormone levels and enhance antioxidant capacity and immune function of pregnant sows.
