Effect of vitamin E, phosphorus and sorbitol on growth performance and serum and tissue cholesterol concentrations in the pig.

چکیده
A total of 180 crossbred, weanling pigs were assigned to five dietary treatment groups: 1) a basal corn-soybean meal diet formulated to current NRC recommendations, 2) basal + monosodium phosphate (2 x NRC P recommendations; P), 3) basal + alpha-tocopheryl acetate (220 IU/kg; E), 4) basal + sorbitol (1% of the diet; S) and 5) basal + PES. Dietary treatments were continued until market weight (104 kg). Blood samples were obtained at 3-wk intervals for analysis of serum alpha-tocopherol, P and total cholesterol. Liver and muscle (semimembranosus) samples were obtained at the end of the starter, grower and finisher phases for determination of total cholesterol concentration. The Ca:P imbalance produced by the high-phosphorus diets (P and PES) increased feed intake during the finisher phase. Dietary treatment did not consistently affect total serum cholesterol at any phase of growth. A transient 21.5% (P less than .05) depression of liver cholesterol concentration was observed in the PES-fed pigs at the end of the starter phase but was not apparent at market weight. A similar trend (nonsignificant) was noted for muscle cholesterol concentration. The present study suggests that the PES diet can decrease tissue cholesterol concentration during the nursery phase, but it remains uncertain whether this transient response is a function of age and(or) diet transition at weaning. Further research is necessary to determine whether this response can be translated to the finishing phase, and thereby reduce carcass cholesterol.
