Abstract
The present study was conducted to know the effect of nutritional supplementation of neonatal pig on biochemical profile during pre-weaning period. A total of 72 number of Large White Yorkshire nursing piglets were utilized. Animals were randomly assigned into 4 equal groups; T1, T2, T3 & C (control). Weaning was done on day 28. The nutritional supplement containing bovine colostrum, egg yolk, probiotic, zinc oxide, chelated iron, dextrose powder etc. was fed orally twice daily with a gap of 6 hours up to 7 days to the piglet @ 2, 4, 6 ml/kg body wt./piglet of group T1, T2 and T3 respectively. The control group was not fed any nutritional supplementation. Blood samples of piglets were analysed for Glucose, Total Protein (TP), Albumin, Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) at 7th, 14th, & 28th day of experiment. The mean±SE of biochemical parameters in pre-weaning piglets were in normal ranged in group T1, T2 and T3 and control group and significance difference were observed in glucose level on day 7 and albumin level on day 14 of pre-weaning. However, overall biochemical level at 28th day was in normal range which indicates that supplementation of nutritional supplement during pre-weaning stage did not influence the biochemical parameters in pre-weaning pigs.
