ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Bacillus
subtilis and yeast culture (YC) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility,
serum biochemical and immunological parameters and microbial community
of weaned pigs. One hundred and ninety-two weaned piglets (Large White
× Landrace, 96 males and 96 females) with an average initial body weight of
8.22 ± 1.46 kg were randomly divided into 4 groups (8 piglets per pen, 6 pens
per group). Piglets in the control group were fed a basal diet with 1 g/kg of
bacitracin zinc and the others were fed basal diets supplemented with 1 g/kg of
solid-state products containing 1010 CFU/g of B. subtilis or 3 g/kg of YC with live
yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cells of 4.5 × 106 CFU/g or the combination
of two above mentioned supplements. Pigs were fed the experimental diets for
41 days. There was no significant difference in body weight and feed intake of
piglets between control and other experimental groups. In comparison to the
control group, the ether extract digestibility was increased in all supplemented
group, and the P digestibility was decreased only in B. subtilis group. The supplementation
with B. subtilis and/or YC did not affect either serum biochemical or
immunological parameters in comparison to the control group. Also, the similar
effect on faecal microbiota composition was stated in the supplemented groups
and control one. B. subtilis or YC could be used as a substitute for antibiotics
and so be applied to the rearing of weaned piglets. However, the usage of their
combination in the examined proportion does not enhance the effect.
