dc.description.abstract | Weaning is a decisive event in piglets’ life. This study aimed to evaluate whether the inclusion of fish oil,
rich in eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids (EPA and DHA), in sow and piglet diets, increased the
concentration of anti-inflammatory molecules in the blood of weaned piglets and whether the effect was
dependent on the pigs being born with either low or a high birth BW (bBW). Thirty-six sows in four consecutive batches were randomly distributed between a control diet with animal fat (15 g/kg in gestation
and 30 g/kg in lactation) or a n-3 long-chain fatty acid diet (LCFA; totally or half replacing animal fat by
fish oil during gestation and lactation, respectively) from service until weaning (ca. 28 days). At birth, the
two lightest (LBW) and the two heaviest (HBW) piglets in each litter were identified and, at weaning,
grouped in pens by pairs prioritising their bBW. Pens were further distributed into a control (30 g/kg animal fat) or n-3 LCFA diet (totally replacing animal fat by fish oil) for 28 days. At the end of the trial, blood
was collected from piglets in the first batch (n = 48). Serum fatty acids (FAs) were quantified by GC,
plasma oxylipins by ultra-HPLC-MS, and plasma immune indicators by ELISA. An interaction between
piglet diet and bBW for average daily gain (P = 0.020) and average daily feed intake (P = 0.014) during
the whole postweaning indicated that dietary n-3 LCFA promoted LBW piglets to have a similar growth
and intake than HBW piglets reaching 1.5 kg average BW more at the end of the postweaning period than
LBW control piglets. Fish oil in piglet diets also increased the concentrations of total n-3 FA, EPA and DHA
(all P < 0.001), their resultant oxylipins, particularly their hydroxy derivatives from lipoxygenase enzymatic pathway (all P < 0.001) and tended to increase immunoglobulin M (P = 0.067) in blood.
Regarding the bBW category, LBW piglets tend to increase tumour necrosis factor a in plasma
(P = 0.083) compared to HBW. It is concluded that fish oil in postweaning diets could enhance the daily
gain and feed intake of LBW piglets, increasing the concentration of serum n-3 FAs and their derived
oxylipins in plasma. | ca |
