Abstract

The experiment aimed to study the effects of fermented soybean hulls (FSH) on the reproductive performance, plasma biochemical and immune indices in pregnant sows. Three hundred and twenty-five sows of parity 3 to 6 (Landrace×Yorkshire) with similar body weight, genetics, physical condition, and mating date were selected, and randomly divided into 5 groups with 65 sows in each group. Based on a basal diet, the unfermented soybean hull was gradually replaced by FSH, where the replacement proportion was 0 (FSH0 group, control group), 2% (FSH2 group), 4% (FSH4 group), 6% (FSH6 group) and 8% (FSH8 group), respectively. The proportion of unfermented soybean hulls was 8%, 6%, 4%, 2% and 0, respectively. The experimental sows were reared in positioning pens. The trial lasted for 80 days from 30 days of gestation to 110 days of gestation. The results showed as follows:1) with the gradual increase in the proportion of FSH in the experimental diets, the number of healthy litter, litter weight and piglet birth weight increased linearly (PLinear<0.05). The weight variation value decreased linearly (PLinear<0.05), and the sow farrowing process showed a linear decrease trend (PLinear=0.076). Compared with the control group, FSH had a significant effect on the piglet litter weight and the variation value of birth weight (PANOVA<0.05). 2) With the gradual increase in the proportion of FSH in the experimental diets, the content of urea in plasma decreased linearly (PLinear<0.05) on day 60 of gestation, the total protein content and aspartate transaminase activity in plasma on days 60 and 90 of gestation showed a secondary effect change (PQuadratic<0.05), and alkaline phosphatase activity in plasma showed a secondary effect trend (PQuadratic=0.082). 3) With the gradual increase in the proportion of FSH in the experimental diets, on day 60 of gestation, plasma insulin content of sows increased linearly (PLinear<0.05), and plasma epinephrine content on day 90 of gestation showed a secondary effect change (PQuadratic<0.05). 4) With the gradual increase in the proportion of FSH in the experimental diets, the plasma immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgM contents increased linearly (PLinear<0.05) on day 60 of gestation in sows, but had no significant effect on day 90 of gestation (P>0.05). In conclusion, supplemental FSH can improve the plasma physiological metabolism of sows, increase the plasma immunoglobulin content, and have a positive impact on the reproductive performance. Under the conditions of this experiment, based on the physiological metabolism and reproductive performance, the appropriate additional amount of FSH is 6%.
