ABSTRACT
The study determined the effects of Lactobacillus fermentum
I5007 administered early in the life of piglets on their growth, faecal microflora,
immune index and antioxidant activity. Twelve litters of 3-day-old crossbreed
piglets were randomly assigned to either of two treatments: piglets in the control
group were orally administered 2 ml saline per day per piglet from day 3
to day 5 of life; piglets in the probiotics group were given 2 ml rejuvenation
liquid of L. fermentum spray-dried powder (≥ 109 CFU ml–1). Compared with
the control group, oral administration of L. fermentum tended to increase the
weight gain (P < 0.10) of piglets from day 3 until day 17 of life, and significantly
(P < 0.05) increased the number of Lactobacillus in faeces, the concentrations
of IgM, IgG, IgA and glutathione, the activity of glutathione peroxidase, and the
total antioxidant capacity in plasma of piglets on day 17. In conclusion, oral
administration of L. fermentum to piglets early in life could be beneficial by
establishing appropriate intestinal microbial flora.
