Effects of palygorskite dietary supplementation on back fat mobilization, leptin levels and oxidative stress parameters in sows
AbstractThe effects of dietary supplementation of palygorskite on the metabolic and oxidative parameters during the peripartal period and performance of sows were assessed. Upon insemination sows were allocated to treatments: a) CON (n=23): sows were fed a basal diet; b) PAL (n=21): sows were fed the basal diet supplemented with 7g/kg feed palygorskite; and c) PAL+ (n=23): sows were fed the basal diet supplemented with 8g/kg feed of a palygorskite compound product. Sow plasma samples (n=10/treatment) were obtained at days 108 of gestation, 1 and 14 postpartum. Leptin levels were higher in PAL and PAL+ groups (P<0.001). The levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) were higher in the CON group (P=0.001 and P=0.003, respectively). PAL sows exhibited higher back fat (BF) loss from late gestation to weaning (P=0.015). Litter weight at weaning and litter weight gain during lactation were higher in CON sows (P<0.001). Overall, palygorskite supplementation affected peripartal energy balance of sows, which was characterized by the increased leptin levels and BF mobilization and accompanied by a decreased oxidative stress.
HighlightsPalygorskite supplementation affects sows' performance.Palygorskite promoted back fat loss of sows during lactation.Palygorskite induced higher leptin levels postprandially.Palygorskite lowered the oxidative stress parameters in sows' plasma.
