Effects of Fish Palm Rice and Coconut Palm Rice Oil Mixture on Intestinal Health of Weaned Piglets
Fat not only has a high effective energy value and extra energy effects but is also an ideal energy source. As one of the most commonly used feed oils at present, soybean oil has a high cost despite its good application effect on weaned piglets. In contrast, the cost of palm oil is lower. In order t...

| description | Fat not only has a high effective energy value and extra energy effects but is also an ideal energy source. As one of the most commonly used feed oils at present, soybean oil has a high cost despite its good application effect on weaned piglets. In contrast, the cost of palm oil is lower. In order to explore the effect of palm oil-dominated fat combination on intestinal health of weaned piglets, we conducted a 28-day trial, randomly dividing 72 pigs into three groups: The SO group (fed with a basal diet containing 2% soybean oil), the PRFO group (replacing soybean oil with 2% fish palm rice oil mixture), and the PRCO group (replacing soybean oil with 2% coconut palm rice oil mixture), with eight replicate pens per group (3 pigs per pen) and intestinal chyme was collected on day 29. We observed a significant increase in the concentration of propionic acid (PA) in cecal digesta of the PRFO group (895.49 mmol/L <i>p</i> < 0.05) compared to the SO group (626.32 mmol/L). Meanwhile, the concentration of cecal PA, butyric acid (BA), valerate and colonic valeric acid were significantly increased in the PRCO group (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Moreover, piglets in the PRFO group had a higher abundance of <i>Firmicutes</i> in the cecum and colon, but a lower abundance of Actinomyces in the cecum than those in the SO group. These results indicate that replacing soybean oil with PRFO and PRCO in weaning diet can improve intestinal microflora structure and thus improve intestinal health of piglets. |
