The present study was conducted to know the effect of nutritional supplementation of neonatal pig on biochemical profile during pre-weaning period. A total of 72 number of Large White Yorkshire nursing piglets were utilized. Animals were randomly assigned into 4 equal groups; T1, T2, T3 & C (control). Weaning was done on day 28. The nutritional supplement containing bovine colostrum, egg yolk, probiotic, zinc oxide, chelated iron, dextrose powder etc. was fed orally twice daily with a gap of 6 hours up to 7 days to the piglet @ 2, 4, 6 ml/kg body wt./piglet of group T1, T2 and T3 respectively. The control group was not fed any nutritional supplementation. Blood samples of piglets were analysed for Glucose, Total Protein (TP), Albumin, Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) at 7 th , 14 th , & 28 th day of experiment. The mean±SE of biochemical parameters in pre-weaning piglets were in normal ranged in group T1, T2 and T3 and control group and significance difference were observed in glucose level on day 7 and albumin level on day 14 of preweaning. However, overall biochemical level at 28 th day was in normal range which indicates that supplementation of nutritional supplement during pre-weaning stage did not influence the biochemical parameters in pre-weaning pigs.
Poultry production has undergone an enormous expansion during the past decades throughout the world (Praveen et al., 2017). India's poultry industry has shown to grow at a steady rate of around 7-8% per year (Soundararajan, 2017). The poultry industry
The present study was conducted to know the effect of probiotic supplementation to Preweaning pig on haematological profile during pre-weaning period. A total of24 number of Large White Yorkshire nursing piglets were utilized for the present study. Animals were randomly assigned into 2 equal groups; Group 1(Treatment), Group 2(Control).The probiotic supplement (Darolac) containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium longum and Saccharomyces boulardii was fed orally twice daily with a gap of 6 hours up to 7 days to the piglet @ 1 g/piglet/day twice daily in the treatment group. The control group was not fed any probiotic supplementation. Weaning was done on day 28. Blood samples of piglets were analysed for Haemoglobin, Packed Cell Volume (PCV), White blood cell (WBC) and Red bold cell (RBC) at 7 th , 14 th , & 28 th day of experiment. The mean±SE of haematological parameters in pre-weaning piglets were in normal ranged in treatment group and control group and significance difference were observed in WBC level on day 14 of pre-weaning. However, overall haematological level at 28 th day was in normal range which indicates that supplementation of probiotic during pre-weaning stage did not influence the haematological parameters in pre-weaning pigs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
