Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of diet composition and antibiotics on growth performance and intestinal health in weaned piglets. A total of 72 piglets (Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire) were selected and assigned to the 4 treatments with 6 replicates per treatment and 3 weaned piglets per replicate. The trial was designed with 2×2 factors, including two diets "simple diets and complex diets" with or without antibiotics (75 mg/kg chlortetracycline and 50 mg/kg kitasamycin). The experiment lasted for 21 days. The results showed as follows:1) compared with simple diets, complex diets significantly decreased the feed/gain (F/G) and diarrhea rate of piglets from days 1 to 7 and 1 to 21(P<0.05), significantly increased the average daily gain (ADG) of piglets from days 1 to 7 (P<0.05), significantly increased the ratio of villus height to crypt depth in ileum and the number of goblet cells in jejunum (P<0.05), upregulated the relative expression of occludin (OCLN) mRNA in jejunum (P<0.05), significantly increased the contents of interleukin-10 (IL-10) (P<0.05) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in jejunum, and significantly decreased the contents of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in ileum (P<0.05). 2) Compared with no antibiotic diet, antibiotic diet significantly increased the ADG of piglets from days 1 to 7 and days 1 to 21 (P<0.05), the average daily feed intake (ADFI) from days 1 to 21 and final body weight on day 22 (P<0.05), significantly decreased the F/G and the diarrhea rate of piglets from days 1 to 7 and days 1 to 21 (P<0.05), significantly increased the ratio of villus height to crypt depth in ileum (P<0.05), significantly increased the number of goblet cells in jejunum and ileum (P<0.05), and significantly decreased the relative expressions of TLR2 mRNA in jejunum and ileum (P<0.05). In conclusion, complex diets can increase the growth performance of weaned piglets, decrease the diarrhea rate, and enhance the intestinal immune barrier function; while antibiotics can inhibit diarrhea, but has an adverse effect on intestinal barrier function of weaned piglets.
