The effects of moringa leaf polysaccharides on growth performance,serum biochemical indicators,and immune function of piglets
The article aims to study the effects of polysaccharides from spicy wood leaves on growth performance,serum biochemical indicators,and immune function of piglets.240 28 day old healthy homologous hybrid piglets were randomly divided into 4 groups,with 6 replicates in each group and 10 piglets in each replicate.Each experimental group added 0,100,200,and 400 mg/kg of spicy wood leaf polysaccharides to the diet for 42 days.The results showed that adding 200 and 400 mg/kg spicy wood leaf polysaccharides to the diet significantly increased the final body weight of piglets by 5.89%and 7.12%(P<0.05),and the average daily weight gain significantly increased by 7.99%and 9.89%(P<0.05),respectively.The average daily feed intake significantly increased by 2.24%and 3.58%(P<0.05),and the feed to weight ratio significantly decreased by 5.32%and 5.73%(P<0.05).The serum TP content of piglets in the 200 mg/kg spicy wood leaf polysaccharide group was significantly increased(P<0.05);The levels of serum ALB and HDL in piglets treated with 200 and 400 mg/kg spicy wood leaf polysaccharides were significantly increased(P<0.05),while the levels of serum TC and TG were significantly reduced(P<0.05);In addition,adding spicy wood leaf polysaccharides to the diet had no significant effect on the serum BUN and LDL content of piglets(P>0.05).The serum IL-2 content of piglets in the 200 and 400 mg/kg spicy wood leaf polysaccharide groups was significantly increased(P<0.05);The serum IL-10 content of piglets in the 200 mg/kg spicy wood leaf polysaccharide group was significantly increased(P<0.05);In addition,Moringa leaf polysaccharides have effects on serum IgA,IgM,IgG,IL-6,and TNF in piglets-α The content had no significant effect(P>0.05).In summary,adding spicy wood leaf polysaccharides can promote its growth and development by increasing feed intake and improving serum biochemical indicators.The optimal dosage for this experiment is 200 mg/kg.
