- Abstract
- This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary crude protein reduction on growth performance, blood profiles, and nutrient digestibility in weaning pigs. A total of 128 crossbred piglets ([Yorkshire × Landrace] × Duroc), weaned at 21 ± 3 d of age with average initial body weight of 7.68 ± 0.2 kg were used in this experiment during 5 weeks. Weaning pigs were assigned to one of 4 treatments in a randomized complete block (RCB) design in 8 replicates with 4 pigs per pen. Control diet had same level of dietary crude protein as NRC (1998) recommended, and 2% of dietary crude protein was reduced from 2% to 6% less then NRC recommendation. Three phase feeding programs were used in this experiment (phase I, d 0 to 7
phase II, d 7 to 21
phase III, d 21 to 35). In growth performance, reduction of dietary crude protein resulted in decrease of growth performance, but 2% reduction of dietary crude protein treatment showed significantly same rows with control diet (P<0.05). Pigs fed control diet showed the highest serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentration, but insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) level was decreased by dietary crude protein reduction (linear, P<0.05). Sixteen crossbred barrows (4 pigs per treatment) averaging 16.28 ± 1.82 kg body weight were alloted in apparent nutrient digestibility. Dry matter digestibility was increased by dietary crude protein reduction (linear, P<0.05
quadratic P<0.01), and 4% reduction of dietary crude protein treatment showed significantly higher dry matter digestibility than other treatment (P<0.01). Four percent reduction of dietary crude protein treatment showed significantly power total nitrogen excretion than other treatment (P<0.01). Also, dietary crude protein digestibility was lowered by dietary crude protein digestibility (linear, P<0.05), and crude ash digestibility was increased by dietary crude protein reduction (linear, P<0.05
quadratic, P<0.05). Crude fat digestibility showed some tendency of increased than decreased, and 4% reduction of dietary crude protein treatment showed the highest crude fat digestibility (quadratic, P=0.08). In nitrogen retention, fecal nitrogen was decreased by dietary crude protein reduction (linear, P<0.05), and also, urinal nitrogen showed decreased tendency by dietary crude protein reduction (P=0.067). Consequently, reduction of dietary crude protein level in weaning pig diet reduce growth performance, but improve nutrient digestibility. And 4% dietary crude protein reduction could be acceptable for commercial weaning pigs feed with considering impact of environmental pollution.
