Abstract
|

|
|
Domestic SAMs (super activated material series) were added by 0.8% to the feed of 24 pigs in order to study the component change of excretion, the reduction effect of malodorous substances, and the change of meatiness. P, Zn, Mn, and organic components out of excrement components were decreased. Valeraldehyde, a highly malodorous substance, and methyl isobutyl ketone were decreased by 58% and 39%, respectively. As for the characteristics of meatiness, in the group with addition of 0.8% SAMs, all of the brightness, red index, and yellow index tended to increase in comparison with those of control group. As for the dressed carcass, the effect of 0.8% SAMs addition on the growth (weight increase and feed conversion rate) was insignificant. The concentration of immunoglobulin G in the blood of growing piglets was increased from the range of 25 to 50% in the 11th week to the range of 40 to 60% in the 16th week, and the number of lymphocytes started to increase from the 5th week and increased by 18% in the 16th week. There existed preventive effects on respiratory disease and viral syndrome, which often generate in growing pigs. The results above indicate that the addition of SAMs to pig feeds is expected to decrease the amount of such an environmental pollutant excretion as P out of excrement and to have a positive influence on the immunity enhancement and growth rate.
