AI Article Synopsis

  • Probiotics and synbiotics were studied for their effects on the growth and meat quality of offspring pigs when supplemented to sows during gestation and lactation.
  • The study involved 64 Bama mini-pigs split into four groups to compare diets with control, antibiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics, with specific analyses conducted on the offspring at various ages.
  • Results indicated that probiotics improved growth and feed intake in pigs aged 95-125 days, and both probiotics and synbiotics positively influenced meat quality and gene expressions related to muscle development.

Article Abstract

Probiotics and synbiotics supplementation have been shown to play potential roles in animal production. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary probiotics and synbiotics supplementation to sows during gestation and lactation and to offspring pigs (sow-offspring) on offspring pigs' growth performance and meat quality. Sixty-four healthy Bama mini-pigs were selected and randomly allocated into four groups after mating: the control, antibiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics groups. After weaning, two offspring pigs per litter were selected, and four offspring pigs from two litters were merged into one pen. The offspring pigs were fed a basal diet and the same feed additive according to their corresponding sows, representing the control group (Con group), sow-offspring antibiotics group (S-OA group), sow-offspring probiotics group (S-OP group), and sow-offspring synbiotics group (S-OS group). Eight pigs per group were euthanized and sampled at 65, 95, and 125 d old for further analyses. Our findings showed that probiotics supplementation in sow-offspring diets promoted growth and feed intake of offspring pigs during 95-125 d old. Moreover, sow-offspring diets supplemented with probiotics and synbiotics altered meat quality (meat color, pH, pH, drip loss, cooking yield, and shear force), plasma UN and AMM levels, and gene expressions associated with muscle-fiber types (, , , and ) and muscle growth and development (, , , and ). This study provides a theoretical basis for the maternal-offspring integration regulation of meat quality by dietary probiotics and synbiotics supplementation.
