“…According to Martinez-Ramirez et al (2008), organ weight varies according to energy and/or protein intake, suggesting that, if the same quantities of these components are maintained, the organ weights should be similar. In the present study, the diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous and isoenergetic; however, in the performance experiment carried out together with this analysis, a higher feed intake (P<0.05) was observed in animals receiving the diet with FOS (Budiño et al, 2015). This higher feed intake increases nutrient intake, which may explain the increase in liver + gallbladder weight (P<0.05).…”

-The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the addition of the prebiotic fructooligosaccharide and/or alfalfa hay to piglet diets on carcass traits and short-chain fatty acid profiles in the cecal digesta. Seventy-two commercial crossbred piglets of both sexes, with an average initial weight about 6 kg and age of approximately 21 days, were distributed in a randomized block design, using a factorial scheme, which consisted of three alfalfa hay levels (0, 5, and 10%) and two fructooligosaccharide levels (0 and 0.3%). Fiber addition in the presence of the prebiotic exerted an effect on cecal digesta short-chain fatty acid, increasing the acetic and reducing the butyric acid concentrations. The meat quality was also affected by the treatments, water activity, water-holding capacity of meat, and especially the reduction of fat content and the increase of moisture. The treatments did not affect the pH and the ammonia content in the cecal digesta. Most carcass traits were not affected by the treatments, except for carcass weight and backfat thickness in points 1 and 2, that decreased with the inclusions of fiber and prebiotic. The addition of 5% alfalfa hay improves carcass and meat traits in growing pigs without any change in carcass weight, demonstrating the advantage of using this ingredient to obtain a healthy final product to the customers.Key Words: backfat thickness, fiber, meat quality, prebiotic, swine Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia

“…Pascoal et al (2012) tested the use of different insoluble fibre sources in the feeding of weaned piglets and found no differences in growth performance up to 63 days of age, differing from that observed in the present study. The results with fibre in piglet diets differ due to the chemical and physical characteristics of each source used and its degree of lignification, in addition to the different levels of inclusion in the feed (Budiño, Prezzi, Rodrigues, Monferdini, & Otsuk, 2015). Means followed by an * within the line differ from the reference treatment (0%) by the Dunnett's test at 5% of probability level.…”

“…However, there was less use of these ASM nutrients by pigs when compared to the same corn grain, which has digestible values for CP of 82.70% and GE of 88.23%. This lower availability of nutrients can be attributed to the fibrous content present in the ASM, since fibres can affect the digestibility of nutrients by increasing the viscosity of the digesta or even by reducing its length of stay in the GIT, preventing the proper action of digestive enzymes (Zhang et al, 2013;Brambillasca, Zunino, & Cajarville, 2015). Fachinello et al (2015) analysed the digestibility of passion fruit seed meal (DM = 92.2%, CP = 11.3%, GE = 5,565 kcal kg -1 , NDF = 50.2%, ADF = 43.7%) and obtained an ADCDM of 67.6%, ADCGE of 71.4%, ADCCP of 70.5%, ADCNDF of 49.9% and ADCADF of 44.8%.…”

Three experiments were carried out to determine the nutritional value and the effect of acerola seed meal (ASM) for starter piglet diets on feed digestibility, nitrogen balance (NB), growth performance and blood metabolites. Twenty-four crossbred entire male piglets (21.07 ± 3.07 kg) were assigned to a digestibility assay (Exp. I) and distributed in a randomised block design (RBD) with two treatments composed of reference diet (RD) or test diet (20% replacement with ASM), 12 replications and with one pig per experimental unit (EU). An NB study (Exp. II) was conducted with four levels of ASM (0, 4, 8 and 12%) and 24 crossbred entire male piglets (20.78 ± 1.84 kg) allocated in an RBD of six replications and one pig per EU. The growth performance study (Exp. III) involved 120 crossbred piglets: 60 entire males and 60 females (13.85 ± 1.49 kg). Treatments consisted of a gender combination and five levels of ASM (0, 3, 6, 9 and 12%), distributed in an RBD with six replications and four animals per EU. The physicochemical composition results indicated 86.12% of dry matter (DM), 8.03% of crude protein (CP) and 4,553 kcal kg-1 of gross energy (GE) as well as apparent digestibility coefficients of 39.04 and 28.21% for CP and GE, respectively. The levels of ASM that provided the maximum estimate for final body weight, daily body weight gain and average daily feed intake were 2.93% (p = 0.037), 3.05% (p = 0.040) and 4.27% (p = 0.043), respectively. ASM can be indicated as a dietary fibre source for starter piglet diets because it contains relevant nutritional and energy values, without affecting the nitrogen balance and blood urea concentration.

“…Psidium guajava L. is rich in fibrous material, so that the components of dietary fibre in the small intestine are minimally digested, providing a substrate for microbial fermentation in the large intestine (Budiño et al 2015;Jarrett and Ashworth 2018). The main end products of this fermentation are short chain fatty acids (Budiño et al 2015).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the nutritional-energetic value of guava seed meal (GSM) for piglets in the starter phase and its effects on feed digestibility, growth performance, plasma parameter and diarrhea incidence. Assay I (digestibility testing) involved 16 entire male piglets with average initial body weight of 18.91 ± 1.36 kg were distributed in a randomized block design, allocated to two treatments with eight replications. Treatments consisted of a reference diet and a test diet with a 20% replacement by GSM. In assay II (performance testing), 128 entire male piglets and average initial body weight of 14.47 ± 2.09 kg were distributed in a randomized block design, with four treatments repeated four times in two blocks. Treatments consisted of increasing levels of GSM (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%). Values higher were found for glutamine and arginine. The high GE value of the GSM was reflected in an elevated AMCGE of the feed, with greater DM and CP digestibility. There was difference (P < 0.05) for average daily feed intake, feed conversion ratio, urea and diarrhea. In conclusion, GSM does not affect apparent nutrient digestibility, and it promotes greater feed intake up to 10% inclusion and 15% improves diarrhea incidence.
