Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of potassium diformate on growth performance, nutrient apparent digestibilities, duodenal digestive enzyme activities and fecal contamination indexes of growing male minks. A total of 120 healthy 65-day-old growing white male minks with similar body weight of (1 159.05±18.47) g were selected and divided into 6 groups with 10 replicates in each group and 2 minks in each replicate. Minks in group Ⅰ (control group) were fed a basal diet, and the others in groups Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ and Ⅵ were fed the basal diet supplemented with 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0 and 7.5 g/kg potassium diformate, respectively. The pre-experimental period lasted for 7 days, and the experimental period lasted for 60 days. The first 30 days was period Ⅰ, and the last 30 days was period Ⅱ. The results showed as follows:1) in period Ⅱ, compared with the control group, the feed to gain ratio of groups Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ was significant decreased (P<0.05). 2) In period Ⅰ, compared with the control group, the apparent digestibilities of dry matter and crude protein of groups Ⅳ, Ⅴ and Ⅵ were significant increased (P<0.05). In period Ⅱ, compared with the control group, the dry matter apparent digestibility of groups Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ was significant increased (P<0.05), and the crude protein apparent digestibility of groups Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ and Ⅵ was significant increased (P<0.05). 3) Compared with the control group, the duodenal pH of groups Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ was significant decreased (P<0.05); the duodenal trypsin activity of group Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ and Ⅵ was significant increased (P<0.05), and group Ⅲ was significantly higher than groups Ⅳ, Ⅴ and Ⅵ (P<0.05). 4) In period Ⅰ, compared with the control group, the fecal ammonia nitrogen content of group Ⅳ was significant decreased (P<0.05). In period Ⅱ, compared with the control group, the fecal total nitrogen content of groups Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ and Ⅵ was significant decreased (P<0.05). In conclusion, the supplementation of 3 g/kg potassium diformate in diets can improve the feed efficiency and nutrient apparent digestibilities, increase the duodenal trypsin activity, reduce fecal ammonia nitrogen and total nitrogen contents of growing male minks.
