Popis: | The present experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with Bacillus subtilis LS 1–2 grown on citrus-juice waste and corn-soybean meal substrate on performance and gut health of weaning pigs. A total of 240 weaning pigs (Landrace x Yorkshire x Duroc) were randomly allotted to 4 treatments, each with 4 replicates of 15 pigs. Dietary treatments included basal diet without any antimicrobial (NC; negative control) or with 150 mg/kg apramycin (PC; positive control), 0.45% B. subtilis LS 1–2 grown on corn-soybean substrate (P1) and 0.45% B. subtilis LS 1–2 grown on citrusjuice waste substrate (P2). The experimental diets were fed in a meal form for 2 phases (d 0–14, phase I and d 14–28, phase II). Overall ADG, ADFI, FCR and ATTD of DM and GE (d 14, d 28) were better (P 0.05) from pigs fed the PC diet. These results indicate that B. subtilis LS 1–2 inclusion at 0.30% level had beneficial effects on weaning pigs growth performance, ATTD of nutrients, caecal microflora and intestinal morphology. Additionally, citrus-juice waste can be used as substrate for growth of probiotic B. subtilis LS 1–2. |
