To assess the effects of 2 high intensity
\nsodium saccharine-based sweeteners on individual
\nfeed intake characteristics and performance of grouphoused
\nweaned pigs, one hundred ninety-eight 26-d-old
\nweanling pigs were given ad libitum access to 3 dietary
\ntreatments containing: no additional sweetener (control),
\n150 mg of sweetener (Sucram C-150)\/kg, or 150
\nmg of sweetener (Sucram 3D)\/kg. At weaning, piglets
\nwere allocated to 18 pens (11 pigs\/pen) based on BW,
\nsex, and ancestry, and pens were randomly assigned to
\n3 treatments with 6 pens per treatment. The pens were
\nequipped with computerized feeding stations. During
\nthe first 12 d, pigs were offered pelleted prestarter diets
\nthat were replaced at once by pelleted starter diets
\nfor the last 7 d of the 19-d experimental period. The
\nindividual feed intake characteristics consisting of latency
\ntime (interval between weaning and first feed
\nintake), initial feed intake (intake during the first 24
\nh following the first feed intake), the number of total
\nvisits per day, and the number of visits in which feed
\nwas consumed, together with the time and the feed
\nintake per visit, were determined for all piglets. Performance
\ntraits and fecal consistency were determined
\nper pen for d 0 to 5, d 5 to 12, and d 12 to 19, as well
\nas for the total period (d 0 to 19). The initiation of feed
\nintake was not affected by the addition of high intensity
\nsweeteners to the diet. From 12 d postweaning, dietary
\nsweeteners caused the piglets to focus more on
\nfeed intake and less on exploratory behavior, as shown
\nby the increased percentage of visits with feed intake
\nin pigs fed the Sucram 3D diet compared with those
\nfed the control diet (P = 0.002). The overall daily feed
\nintake increased with time but was not affected by the
\naddition of sweeteners. Nevertheless, dietary sweeteners
\nprevented the depression of feed intake on d 8 and
\n10 postweaning (d 8, P = 0.013; d 10, P = 0.014), which
\nseemed to coincide with an improved fecal consistency
\nscore (d 5 to 12, P = 0.11; d 12 to 19, P < 0.001). However,\nthe changes in feed intake characteristics and\nfecal consistency only resulted in numerical effects on\npostweaning pig performance (ADFI, P = 0.126; ADG,\nP = 0.140). The results of the present study indicate\nthat weanling pigs need a certain period of time before\nclear effects of dietary sweeteners on individual feed\nintake characteristics and pig performance can be observed.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
