Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary pepper extract on reproductive performance, serum biochemical indices and colostrum composition of sows, so as to determine the appropriate supplemental dose of pepper extract in diets for sows and clarify its effect. Twenty-seven large white sows with similar mating time and body condition on day 85 of gestation were randomly divided into 3 groups with 9 replicates per group and 1 sow per replicate. Sows in group Ⅰ (control group) were fed a corn-soybean type meal basal diet, and those in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ were fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.5% and 1.0% pepper extract, respectively. The experiment began on day 85 of gestation and ended after delivery and milking. The results showed as follows:1) compared with the control group, dietary pepper extract had no significant effects on reproductive performance indices of sows (P>0.05). 2) The serum total protein content of sows in group Ⅱ tended to be higher than that in control group (P>0.05), and was significantly higher than that in group Ⅲ (P<0.05). 3) The serum total antioxidant capacity of sows in group Ⅲ tended to be higher than that in control group (P>0.05), and was significantly higher than that in group Ⅱ (P<0.05). 4) The serum tumor necrosis factor-α content of sows in group Ⅱ was significantly lower than that in control group and group Ⅲ (P<0.05), the serum interleukin-1β content of sows in control group and group Ⅱ was significantly lower than that in group Ⅲ (P<0.05), and the serum interleukin-10 content of sows in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05). 5) The serum prolactin content of sows in group Ⅱ was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05), and the serum growth hormone content of sows in group Ⅱ was significantly higher than that in control group and group Ⅲ (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary 0.5% pepper extract for sows can improve the serum biochemical status of breeding sows.
