The effect of dietary bentonite on post-weaning diarrhoea, growth performance and blood parameters of weaned piglets
Original language description
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of weaned piglets with natural bentonite on post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD), intestinal colonization by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coil (ETEC) and intestinal histopathology, growth performance, and haematological and serum biochemical parameters. The piglets in our study were obtained from a traditional farm with a high prevalence of PWD. The effects of dietary bentonite were tested on 50 weaned piglets in two trials. Pigletswere allocated to two dietary groups, control and bentonite, receiving a basal diet with or without bentonite supplementation at levels of 1% and 2% for 21 days. In vitro testing of antibacterial activity of bentonite against ETEC O149:F4:LT showed thatit had no ability to reduce bacterial plate counts. Dietary bentonite has not been effective in reducing the occurrence and duration of diarrhoea or mortality rates, although faecal ETEC shedding decreased (P = 0.004) in bentonite fed pig
