“…Studies dealing with mineral absorption and retention in pigs as affected by dietary fiber and antibiotics are extremely limited and generally present conflicting results (Collings et al, 1979;Partridge, 1980;Gueguen et al, 1981;Moser et al, 1982). That high fiber diets could lead to mineral deficiencies has long been known (McCance and Widdowson, 1942), however, scientists disagree as to whether the deleterious effects observed in humans and laboratory animals are due to phytic acid or to a combination of phytic acid and fiber (Reinhold et al, 1975;Davies et al, 1977;Erdman, 1979;Ranhotra et al, 1979).…”

Three balance trials, each involving 12 crossbred gilts averaging 35.2 kg body weight, were conducted to determine the effects of dietary fiber and virginiamycin on nutrient digestibility, mineral absorption and retention, and digesta rate of passage (RP). Two levels of fiber (13.5 and 20.2% neutral detergent fiber) and two levels of virginiamycin (0 and 11 ppm) were used in a 2 X 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. All diets were isonitrogenous and isocaloric. The RP was determined by observing the time required for a change in feces color after the addition of .5% chromic oxide to the diet. The high fiber diet had a faster (P less than .01) RP, which was associated with depressions (P less than .001) in the digestibility of dry matter (DM), energy (E), cell contents, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), hemicellulose (HC), cellulose, permanganate lignin and ash. Virginiamycin supplementation slowed (P less than .004) the RP of both low and high fiber diets, but improved (P less than .05) the DM, E, NDF, ADF, HC and cellulose digestibility of the high fiber diet only. Fiber increased (P less than .06) fecal N excretion, whereas virginiamycin supplementation decreased (P less than .08) fecal N excretion. The addition of virginiamycin improved the absorption and retention of P, Ca, Mg, Cu, Fe, Zn and Mn when added to the high fiber diet, but had little or no effect when added to the low fiber diet even though absorption and retention values for most minerals were similar or slightly higher for the unsupplemented high fiber diet compared with the unsupplemented low fiber diet.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

“…Graham et al (1986) observed in animal models that DF such as wheat bran and sugar beet pulp decreased small intestinal lipid absorption. Collings et al (1979) found that the serum cholesterol level was decreased in male growing pigs when more than 10% of wheat middlings was replaced in corn-soybean diets. DF binds to bile acids in the small intestine, which makes them less likely to enter the body, decreases intestinal lipid absorption and subsequently reduces the level of cholesterol in the blood (Graham et al 1986;Wilfart et al 2007;Anderson et al 2009).…”

A total of 96 finishing pigs [(Landrace × Yorkshire) × Duroc; 56.67 ± 2.69 kg] were used in a 10-week trial to evaluate the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, reduction of noxious gases, serum metabolites and meat quality. Pigs were allotted to dietary treatments based on body weight in a 2 × 2 factorial experiment, with the respective factors being fibre (low vs. high; 13.5, 16% non-starch polysaccharide, respectively) and benzoic acid (BA; 0, 0.5% BA) with six replicate pens consisting of four pigs per pen. Wheat bran and sugar beet pulp were used for dietary fibre sources with the level of 5%, respectively in the high fibre (HF) diet. All of the diets were mash type and formulated to contain net energy 9.80 MJ/kg and 16% crude protein. Throughout the experimental period, pigs fed HF diet had lower average daily gain than those fed low fibre (LF) diet (P = 0.02). However, fibre treatment did not affect the average daily feed intake. During the first five weeks, the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of dry matter was higher in the pigs fed LF diet (P < 0.05). The ATTD of nitrogen and gross energy was increased when pigs fed LF included BA (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively). HF treatment showed the reduction of noxious gases such as NH 3 , R · SH and H 2 S detected at d 35 and 70 of this experiment (P < 0.05).Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were lower in the blood of pigs fed HF diet (P < 0.05). In the current study, marbling score was improved in the HF group compared to the LF group (P < 0.05). Finally, HF diet had an adverse effect on growth performance but a beneficial effect on reduction of noxious gas and cholesterol and meat quality.

“…Dietary fibre in the diets of pigs has been given special attention during recent years (Low, 1985), in particular with regard to its effects on several physiological variables such as gastric emptying (Rainbird, 1986;Rainbird & Low, 1986a, b), food passage (Sambrook, 1979;Fioramonti & Bueno, 1980;Kuan et al 1983;Bardon & Fioramonti, 1983), fermentation in the large intestine (Argenzio & Southworth, 1975;Imoto & Namioka, 1978;Ehle et al 1982;Varel et al 1984;Varel, 1987) and cholesterol and bile acid metabolism (Collings et al 1979). In addition, information has accumulated on the digestion of fibre constituents in the different segments of the gastrointestinal tract (for example, Kass et al 1980a, b).…”

1. The associative effects of two fibre sources on ileal and overall digestibility of amino acids, energy and cellwall components were studied by comparing wheat bran and soya-bean hulls in semi-purified diets given to growing pigs.2. Castrated male pigs were prepared with ileo-rectal anastomosis to measure ileal digestibility, and overall digestibility was measured in pigs without anastomosis.3. The three diets contained 190 g total fibre/kg dry matter (DM), derived from each fibre source or from a mixture of both fibre sources, so that each source provided half the amount of total fibre, and 170 g crude protein (nitrogen x 6,25)/kg DM by additions of casein.4. The effects of fibre sources on the ileal digestibility of amino acids were additive for most amino acids; the only significant interactions were found for threonine, methionine and aspartic acid. In contrast with ileal digestibility, systematic negative interactions between fibre sources on overall digestibility of amino acids were noted.5. There was no interaction between fibre sources in their effects on the digestibility of energy or of cell-wall components, irrespective of the site of digestion. The digestibility values were higher with soya-bean hulls than with wheat bran, especially at the faecal level.6. It is concluded that ileal digestibility of amino acids provides a better estimate of amino acid availability, as ileal measurements allow a better discrimination between diets than faecal measurements when distinct fibre sources are used alone or in combination at the same total fibre content. In contrast, for energy, the measurement of digestibility at both faecal and ileal levels permits the estimation of the partition of available nutrients between the small and large intestines.
