Effect of Probiotic Combination Fermented Soybean Meal on Growth Performance, Lipid Metabolism and Immunological Response of Growing-Finishing Pigs

A.T.Y. Hung, T.M. Su, C.W. Liao and J.J. Lu
The primary objective of this study was to investigate the effects of feeding probiotic combination Fermented Soybean Meal (FSM) on performance, lipid metabolism and immunological response of growing-finishing pigs. Forty eight cross-bred pigs (TaoyuanxDuroc) were randomly allotted into three treatments, control, FSM-A and FSM-B treatment. The results demonstrated that pigs fed a diet with FSM-B showed a greater growth performance than control group. Compared with the control group, the cholesterol and triglycerides (TG) content in serum were reduced by fed pigs with FSM-A diet. Moreover, pigs had lower serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) after fed with FSM diet. In immunological responses, the Classical Swine Fever (CSF) specific antibody titer was increased greater and faster by fed pigs with FSM. In conclusion, the dietary FSM supplementation had a beneficial effect on growth performance and immunological response of growing-finishing pigs. Nevertheless, these effects were also dependent on different probiotics combinations.
