“…The positive treatment (chlorohydroxyquinoline) did not show beneficial effect on growth performance of piglets. Data from this study corroborate those obtained by Gois et al 14 and Andrade et al 24 In other study, Perina et al 25 observed that 0.12 g kg −1 of chlorhydroxyquinoline reduced BW and G:F of weanling pigs from 13 to 27, 27 to 40, and 1 to 40 days, compared to control treatment. We believe that the lack of positive results with antimicrobial growth promoters may be due to rigorous sanitary control of the facilities, low challenging situations or when weanling pigs are fed with complex diets.…”

“…The stevia-containing diets did not increase feed intake of weaned piglets [28]. Similarly, there were no effects of the dietary sorbitol levels were observed on growth performance [27]. The positive effects of sucralose were observed both during phase I (d 0 to 14) and phase II (d 15 to 28) in the present study.…”

“…It was the decreasing the palatability of the diet that further reduced ADFI and ADG, not that sucralose had adverse effects on health of weaned piglets. However, several researches on other sweeteners such as sorbitol [27] and stevia [28] suggested that no beneficial effects on pigs were observed. These responses are likely to be affected by the age and weight of the pig at weaning and by the composition of the basal diet.…”

Objective: Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of dietary sucralose on diet preference and growth performance of weaned piglets, and a third experiment was a 28-d safety study to examine if high-dose sucralose could affect the health state of weaned piglets.Methods: In experiment one, 48 piglets had free access to a corn-soybean based diet and the same diet supplemented with 150 mg/kg sucralose for 15 d. In experiment two, 180 piglets were blocked into 5 treatments with 6 replications. They were fed basal diets supplemented with 0, 75, 150, 225, and 300 mg/kg sucralose for 28 days. In experiment three, 108 piglets were randomly assigned to 3 treatments and fed diets supplemented with 0, 150 (suitable level), and 1,500 (ten-fold suitable level) mg/kg sucralose for 28 d.Results: The experiment 1 showed that piglets preferred (p<0.05) diets containing sucralose during experimental period. In experiment 2, piglets fed a diet supplemented with 150 mg/kg sucralose had a higher average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) than pigs in the control group and other treatment groups during the experiment period. The concentrations of sucralose over 150 mg/kg may decrease feed intake. However, no difference in feed conversion ratio was observed. In experiment 3, piglets fed diet supplemented with 150 mg/kg sucralose had a higher ADG and ADFI than that of pigs in the control group and 1,500 mg/kg treatment groups during the experiment period. Clinical blood metabolites, organ index and histological morphology were not significantly different between sucralose treatments.Conclusion: Sucralose can promote feed intake and thereby improve growth performance of weaned piglets. Moreover, inclusion of 1,500 mg/kg sucralose was demonstrated to have no observed adverse effects. Supplementing 150 mg/kg sucralose for weaned piglets is recommended in this study.

“…The e cacy of these medications varies according to the pig raising conditions, with better results being obtained in commercial farms than in experimental facilities (Sbardella et al 2016). Furthermore, other studies have shown that chlorohydroxyquinoline did not present positive effects on the performance of weaned piglets (Perina et al 2014;Cairo et al 2018). The authors justi ed that this result was mainly due to the strict sanitary control of the facilities, which resulted in a lower level of challenge for the animals.…”

This study aimed to assess an ultra-diluted (UD) complex as a replacement for an antimicrobial performance enhancer in diets on the growth performance, intestinal health, and in ammatory response of nursery piglets. The experiment lasted 37 d and involved 126 animals weaned at 21±1.3 d, with an initial body weight of 5.62±1.16 kg. Piglets were assigned to 6 dietary treatments in a randomized block design with 7 replicates and 3 piglets per pen as experimental unit. The treatments were: positive control -basal diet + 120 mg/kg of chlorohydroxyquinoline (PC); negative control -basal diet without additives (NC); and NC containing 4.5; 6.0; 7.5 or 9.0 kg of UD additive/ton diet. Performance data were calculated, and daily diarrhea occurrence was observed. Blood was collected for hematological analyses. In the end of experiment, one animal per pen was slaughtered for organ weighing, pH analysis and collection of intestinal samples for histopathology. Feces were collected during experiment, and cecal contents at slaughter for microbiological and antibiogram analysis. There was no difference between treatments on performance. Throughout the study, UD levels were equal to PC regarding diarrhea occurrence. Higher levels of UD complex led to higher values of total leukocytes. The 4.5 treatment showed a reduction in total and thermotolerant enterobacteria populations in piglet feces, and an increase in lactic acid bacteria, compared to PC. All treatments showed less duodenal pathological alterations compared to NC. The use of the UD additive, especially at 4.5 kg/ton, may be a good alternative for replacing chlorohydroxyquinoline in piglet diets.
