“…Yan et al [ 28 ], reported that supplementation of the diet with 3 g/kg of a clay composite comprised of 72.6 % SiO 2 , 8.18 % Al 2 O 3 , 9.42 % Fe 2 O 3 , 5.25 % K 2 O, and 1.41 % Na 2 O could increase weanling pig performance (Table 1 ). In their study, weight gain was increased by 8.5 % while feed conversion was improved by 5.4 %.…”

“…Similarly, Thacker [ 33 ] fed 0, 0.25, 0.5 or 0.75 % Biotite during the growing period and 0, 0.5, 1.0 or 1.5 % during the finishing period and observed no improvement in pig performance. Yan et al [ 34 ], fed the same composite clay as Yan et al [ 28 ] and found no improvement in growing-finishing pig performance. In addition, Lin et al [ 18 ], Yu et al [ 20 ], Poulsen and Oksbjerg [ 35 ], Shurson et al [ 36 ], Parisini et al [ 37 ], Abranches et al [ 38 ] and Han and Thacker [ 39 ] reported no improvements in pig performance as a result of dietary inclusion of clays.…”

“…As noted previously, the effect of clays on pig performance is inconsistent. In general, younger pigs respond more to dietary clay supplementation than older pigs [ 6 , 28 – 30 ]. In addition, the level of supplementation affects the response.…”

“…Where improvements in pig performance have been noted, one of the most likely explanations for the improvement in performance is the fact that dietary clay supplementation has been shown to increase nutrient digestibility [ 8 , 9 , 27 , 28 , 34 – 37 ]. Li and Kim [ 27 ] reported that dietary supplementation with 0.5 and 1.0 % sericite increased the total tract digestibility of dry matter by 3.9 and 7.5 %, as well as the digestibility of nitrogen by 4.9 and 5.7 % for growing pigs (Table 3 ).…”

Clays are crystalline, hydrated aluminosilicate molecules composed of alkali and alkaline earth cations along with small amounts of various other elements. The best-known are montmorillonite, smectite, illite, kaolinite, biotite and clinoptilolite. The molecules in these clays are arranged in three-dimensional structures creating internal voids and channels capable of trapping a wide variety of molecules. As a result of this structure, clay minerals are regarded as a simple and effective tool for the prevention of the negative effects of many toxic compounds. Dietary supplementation with clays has been shown to improve weight gain and feed conversion in pigs. Where improvements in performance have been noted, one of the most likely explanations for the improvement is the fact clays increase nutrient digestibility. Clays reduce the speed of passage of feed along the digestive tract which allows more time for digestion. Feeding clays also causes morphological changes in the intestinal mucosa such as an increase in villus height and an increase in the villus height to crypt depth ratio. These changes increase the surface area of the gastrointestinal tract thus increasing nutrient digestibility. Several studies have indicated that feeding clay reduces the incidence, severity and duration of diarrhea in pigs. The mechanism for the reduction in diarrhea is likely due to increases in the numbers of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus and decreases in Clostridia and E. coli in the small intestine of pigs fed clays. In addition, the numbers of pigs born alive and weaned, birth weight and weaning weight have been shown to be higher for sows fed clays. Several studies have indicated that clays can help mitigate the effects of mycotoxins. The aim of the present review is to focus on the various clays which have been given attention in recent research and to discuss their potential to improve pig performance.

The objective of this study was to investigate effects of silicate (SIL) supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, organ weight, immune traits, fecal microbiota, rectal temperature, and diarrhea score in weaning to growing pigs with challenged lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In experiment 1, a total of 72 piglets [(Landrace × Yorkshire) × Duroc] with initial body weight (BW) of 7.53 ± 0.1 kg were used in 14 weeks. Treatment groups: (1) Basal diet (CON), and (2) Basal diet + 0.1% silicate (SIL). In experiment 2, after reaching an average BW of 28.12 ± 0.79 kg at end of this experiment, 24 piglets in each treatment (12 pigs per treatment and 2 pigs per pen) were challenged with 100 μg/kg LPS. In experiment 1, SIL diets improved (P < 0.05) growth performance, crude protein (CP) digestibility and reduced (P < 0.05) NH 3 emission compared to CON diet. In experiment 2, after piglets were fed SIL diets, numbers of white blood cells (WBCs) such as WBC, neutrophil, monocyte, and lymphocyte were increased (P < 0.05). SIL diets decreased (P < 0.05) cortisol level, Escherichia coli count, diarrhea incidence, and rectal temperature compared to CON diet.
