The disclosure discloses use of seaweed polysaccharides for replacing antibiotics in daily ration of weaned piglets, and belongs to the technical field of pig breeding.
BACKGROUND
Due to changes in environmental and nutritional factors, early-weaned piglets are susceptible to piglet "early weaning syndrome", which manifests low feed efficiency, disorders of digestion, diarrhea, etc., resulting in seriously restrained growth of piglets. Antibiotics can promote animal growth, reduce diarrhea, increase disease resistance, and thus be widely used in current breeding industry. However, drawbacks of drug residue and bacterial resistance caused by chronic and heavy antibiotic use have been urgent problems to be solved in current "ecological breeding". Thus, gradual and complete replacement of feed antibiotic use has become an inevitable trend; probiotics, acidifiers, and the like are investigated successively to use in replacing antibiotics, but the majority of solutions for replacing antibiotics are under study. There is no completely antibiotic-free swine ration product so far. Therefore, it is important for ecological breeding to develop a completely antibiotic-free swine ration based on the condition that the growth and health of weaned piglets are not influenced.

Test Example 1
The test was carried out in a pig farm of Fengcheng City, Jiangxi Province. In the test, 240 24 day-old weaned piglets with an initial body weight of (6.79±0.04) kg were selected and randomized into four treatment groups; each treatment group included six duplicates, and each duplicate included 10 piglets. The control group was fed with corn-soybean meal based diet + antibiotic (75 mg/kg chlortetracycline), and experimental groups 1 to 3 were fed with the daily rations prepared in Examples 1 to 3, respectively. The test period was 21 days.
Husbandry: In the test period, pigs were fed ad libitum with powder feedstuff and adequate drinking water was ensured. Before the test began, pig houses were disinfected completely. The test period was 21 days. Piglet diarrhea was monitored and recorded daily; piglets were weighed in a fasting state at 8:00 a.m. on Days 1 and 21; daily management of test sites and quarantine measures for test piglets were subject to the production procedure of the pig farm.
1 Sample collection and treatment
1.1 After the test, one piglet was randomly selected from each experimental group and 10 mL of blood was drawn via the vena cava anterior in a fasting state; the blood was centrifuged at 3,000 r/min for 10 min at 4°C to separate serum and plasma for use.
1.2 After the test, one piglet with near average weight was randomly selected from each experimental group, fasted for 12 h, and slaughtered. Duodenum, jejunum, and mid-ileum were isolated. After the chyme was washed off from the gut, the gut was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde solution for 24 h, and paraffin sections were prepared by the conventional method.
1.3 After the test, one piglet with near average weight was selected from each duplicate of seaweed polysaccharide groups and the control group, and slaughtered immediately 12 h after fasting. The duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and cecum of the piglet were isolated to determine the chyme pH. Mid-cecal region and colon were obtained, preserved in liquid nitrogen after wrapping, and then transferred into a refrigerator at -80°C for use.
The jejunum and the ileum were isolated; the intestinal cavity was washed out; intestinal mucosa was scraped carefully on a clean bench, numbered, dispensed in sterile cryogenic vials, and stored in the refrigerator at -80°C.
2 Indices and methods
2.1 Growth performance
Total feed intake was monitored and recorded daily based on each duplicate. Test piglets were weighed in a fasting state on the morning of Days 1 and 21, and relevant records were made based on each duplicate; average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain (ADG), and feed-gain ratio (F/G) were calculated.
ADFI= feed intake/number of days
ADG= (final weight - initial weight)/number of test days
F/G = total feed intake (kg)/total gain (kg)
2.2 Diarrhea frequency
In the test period, piglet diarrhea was recorded regularly at 8:00 a.m. and 14:00 p.m. daily. The formula of the diarrhea frequency is as follows:
Diarrhea frequency (%) = total diarrheal frequency/(number of test piglets xnumber of test days) x 100%
2.3 Blood biochemical parameters
Serum total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), globulin (GLB), cortisol (COR), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were determined by Mindray BS-420 Biochemical Analyzer; all test kits were purchased from Biosino Bio-Technology and Science Incorporation.
2.4 Serum antioxidant indices
Optical density (OD) values of serum total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined by the ultraviolet spectrophotometer, and indices of samples were calculated finally. All the above indices were tested by test kits from Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute.
2.5 Immunoserologic parameters
Serum IgA, IgG, IgM, complement 3(C3), complement 4 (C4), cytokines interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 10 (IL-10), interleukin 1 (IL-1), and tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-a) were determined by radioimmunoassay. All test kits were purchased from Biosino Bio-Technology and Science Incorporation.
2.6 Morphological structure of intestinal tissue
Well-fixed intestinal tissues were removed; after hematein-eosin (HE) staining, villus lengths (V) and crypt depths (C) of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum were measured by Motic Images Advanced 3.2 software, and five visual fields were observed for each section. Villus length/crypt depth (V/C) was calculated.
2.7 Intestinal permeability
Plasma diamine oxidase (DAO) and D-lactate levels were tested by test kits from Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute.
2.8 Intestinal content pH
Intestinal samples were collected, and pH values of duodenum, proximal and distal jejunum, mid-ileum, and cecal contents were measured immediately by the pH meter, three measurements were repeated for each intestinal segment, and records were made.
2.9 Intestinal volatile fatty acids
One gram (1 g) of thawed contents of cecum and colon were weighed accurately, mixed well with 1 ml of ultrapure water, and centrifuged at 15,000 r/min for 15 min at 4°C. Supernatant was transferred and fixed with 25% metaphosphoric acid at a 9:1 volume ratio; volatile fatty acid level was determined by gas chromatography (GC).
2.10 Intestinal digestive enzyme activity
Accurately, 0.3 g ofjejunal mucosa sample was weighed, mixed well with 2.7 mL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) under grinding at a low temperature, and centrifuged at 3,000 r/min for 10 min at 4°C; supernatant was collected, i.e., 10% small intestinal mucosa homogenate; activity of jejunal sucrase, lactase, and maltase was tested by test kits from Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute.
2.11 Intestinal mucosal antioxidase activity
Ten percent (10%) jejunal mucosa homogenate was collected, and the activity of SOD, GSH Px, and CAT and the MDA level were tested by test kits from Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute.
3 Data processing and statistical analysis
Test data were processed preliminarily by Excel 2013 software, and then one-way ANOVA was performed by SPSS 17.0 software. All groups of data expressed as "mean standard error"; P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
4 Results
4.1 Effects of seaweed polysaccharides on the growth performance and diarrhea frequency of weaned piglets
From Table 1-1, compared with the control group, addition of 400 (Example 2 group) and 800 mg/kg seaweed polysaccharides (Example 3 group) in the ration can increase daily gain of the piglets remarkably and reduce piglet diarrhea frequency and feed-gain ratio significantly (P<0.05). In addition, there is no significant difference in growth performance between piglets in the Example 2 group and the Example 3 group. Thus, in consideration of such factors as economic benefits, the Example 2 group and the control group are selected for further investigation.
