“…This might be related to an increase in HDL-C and LDL-C and a decrease in very-low-density lipoprotein. Excessive accumulation of serum enzymes, such as AST and ALP, usually indicates liver damage [ 47 ]. In this research, low-dose GP had no toxic damage to the liver, and there were other active substances (such as geniposide, organic acids, etc.)…”

To investigate the effect of gardenia pomace (GP) as an unconventional feed of antioxidants, 180 Xiangcun pigs were randomly divided into 3 groups during the finishing period, with 6 replicates per group and 10 pigs per replicate. During the 47-day feeding period, the pigs were fed either a control diet based on corn and soybean meal (control group), or the control diet added with 50 g/kg or 100 g/kg GP (groups GP5 and GP10, respectively). Feed and water were provided ad libitum. One pig per replicate was slaughtered and sampled. The effects on growth performance, meat quality, digestibility, metabolism, and immunity and antioxidant properties of the pigs were investigated. The results showed that GP had no significant effect on the growth performance of Xiangcun pigs. Compared with the control group, the digestibility of crude ash, phosphorus, and crude fibre of pigs in the GP groups improved (p < 0.01), and the content of inosinic acid in the longissimus dorsi muscle increased (p < 0.05). The addition of GP to the diet significantly increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in the liver and spleen, and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in the longissimus dorsi muscle and spleen (p < 0.05). Additionally, it significantly reduced the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the liver and spleen (p < 0.05). The GP5 group had a higher inosinic acid content in the longissimus dorsi and lower levels of the inflammatory factor interleukin-2 and interleukin-8 than those in the other groups (p < 0.05). The GP10 group had a higher IgA level (p < 0.05). Adding different proportions of GP to the diet improved the a* and b* of the longissimus dorsi muscles of Xiangcun pigs (p < 0.05). In summary, GP, as an unconventional feed, improved the apparent digestibility of the diet and body antioxidant capacity in Xiangcun pigs during the finishing period and did not negatively affect the growth performance or meat quality.

“…When the piglets ingest colostrum, they uptake these compounds and, as a result, improve their immunity. Live yeast and probiotics supplementation around the time of farrowing and during lactation have proven to show positive effects on colostrum quality [ 8 ], litter performance [ 9 ], or maintenance of body reserves. More specifically, Saccharomyces cerevisiae var.…”

“…Major products of dietary fiber fermentation are SCFAs (acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, isobutyric acid, and isovaleric acid), which carry out diverse functional roles such as activating G-coupled-receptors, inhibiting histone deacetylases, and serving as energy substrates (31). Many studies have indicated that dietary fibers effectively alter intestinal microbiota composition and diversity in pregnant sows (9,11,21). Although in this study we failed to determine the intestinal microbial composition of sows, the results for fecal SCFAs may partially explain the regulation of dietary fiber on microbiota.…”

“…Many studies have highlighted the beneficial effects of a high fiber diet on the reproductive performance of sows (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Dietary supplementation with a by-product from R. puerariae is expected to improve the reproductive performance and shows beneficial effects on satiety and behavior as other fiber sources in sow (21).…”

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of fermented Radix puerariae residue (FRPR) on reproductive performance, apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nutrients, and fecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) contents of sows. A total of 36 landrace × large white multiparous sows were randomly arranged into three treatments, representing supplementation with 0, 2, and 4% FRPR to a corn-soybean meal and wheat bran-based diet during the whole gestation period. The results showed that dietary FRPR had no effects on litter size and the number of total alive piglets (P > 0.05), and that the number of weaned piglets and weaning weight of litter were increased in sows with 4% FRPR treatment compared with control treatment (P < 0.05). Dietary 4% FRPR significantly decreased constipation rate, improved the ATTD of dry matter and organics, and fecal contents of acetate, propionate, and total SCFAs (P < 0.05). In the offspring piglets, serum concentrations of total protein, alkaline phosphatase, IgG, IL-10, and TGF-β were increased, but blood urea nitrogen content was decreased with 4% FRPR treatment (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in all determined indexes except for fecal acetic acid and total SCFAs between control and 2% FRPR treatment (P > 0.05). These findings indicated that FRPR used in the diets of sows showed positive effects on fecal characteristics, utilization of nutrients, and reproductive performance. Maternal supplementation with 4% FRPR is recommended for improving immune responses, weaning litter size, and litter weight of offspring piglets, which provide useful information for the application of residues of R. puerariae.
