Abstract

This study was conducted to explore the effects of dietary Lactobacillus +yeast fermentation broth on reproductive performance, colostrum composition and plasma biochemical indexes of sows. A total of 32 pregnant Bama mini-pigs with the similar body condition during three to seven parities were used and randomly allocated to two groups with 16 sows per group. The sows in the control group were fed a basal diet, and those in the experiment group were fed the basal diet supplemented with Lactobacillus +yeast fermentation broth[200 mL/(d·pig)]. The trial period was from mating to postpartum 21 d. On the day of birth, the litter size and alive litter size were recorded, as well as the litter birth weight of piglets. The body weight of the piglets was individually weighed to calculate the average body weight at 1, 7 and 21 days of age, respectively. Twelve sows were randomly selected from each group, and colostrum was collected within 12 h after delivery to determine milk composition. Eight sows were randomly selected from each group on 45, 75, and 105 d of pregnancy and 7 and 21 d of postpartum, respectively, and blood samples were collected by precaval vein into heparin coated-tubes to obtain the plasma for further analysis of reproductive hormones contents and plasma biochemical indexes. The results showed that, compared with the control group, after adding Lactobacillus +yeast fermentation broth in the diet, the average birth weight of piglets significantly increased (P<0.05), as well as the lactose content (P<0.05), on the pregnancy 75 d, the plasma contents of prolactin (PRL), luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone (PROG)and estradiol (E2) significantly decreased (P<0.05), but plasma triglyceride (TG) content significantly increased (P<0.05); on the pregnancy 75 d, the plasma content of TG and total cholesterin (TC) significantly increased (P<0.05); on the lactation 7 d, the plasma content of total protein significantly decreased (P<0.05), while the plasma TG content and aspartate aminotransferase activity significantly increased (P<0.05); on the lactation 21 d, the plasma content of TC, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol significantly increased (P<0.05). Collectively, these findings suggest that dietary Lactobacillus +yeast fermentation broth can affect plasma biochemical indexes and reproductive hormone contents, improve the uptake and utilization of nutrients, which is beneficial to the improvement of sow reproductive performance.
