“…Apparent metabolisable energy was calculated based on the following formula: AME of diets ðkcal=kg ¼ ð%energy utilisation=100Þ Â diet energy Inert marker of TiO 2 was added @0.3% (w/w) in diets of piglets at the fifth week of the trial period. The protocol of TiO 2 determination in diet and digesta was followed as per the method described by Lercari et al (1983). The crude protein and gross energy determination were conducted following the protocol of AOAC (2000).…”

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of metabolite combinations produced by Lactobacillus plantarum on growth performance, diarrhoea incidence, gut environment and nutrient digestibility in postweaning piglets. A total of 40 piglets were assigned into one of five treatments: (1) negative control (free antibiotic); (2) positive control (0.03% antibiotic of chlortetracycline); (3) Met 1 (0.1% metabolite combination of TL1, RG14 and RS5 strains); (4) Met 3 (0.3% metabolite combination of TL1, RG14 and RS5 strains); and (5) Met 5 (0.5% metabolite combination of TL1, RG14 and RS5 strains). After 5 weeks of the trial, the average daily gain (ADG) and daily feed intake (DFI) was significantly (P B0.05) improved in Met 5 group compared to the negative control and Met 1 group. The diarrhoea incidence was significantly (PB0.05) reduced when were piglets fed with positive control and Met 5 dietary treatment. The pH value and Enterobacteriaceae (ENT) in the gut were reduced in Met 5 treatment as compared to negative control and Met 1 group. However, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts and short chain fatty acids (SCFA) in the gut were significantly higher (PB0.05) when piglets were fed with Met 5 dietary treatment. In contrast, feeding of metabolite combination to piglets did not improve energy utilisation. In addition, piglets fed with Met 5 dietary treatment improved protein digestibility compared to the negative control and Met 1 group. The results obtained in this study showed that feeding of 0.5% metabolite combinations could improve growth performance, gut health environment and protein digestibility in postweaning piglets.
