Abstract

The experiment was to conducted to investigate the effects of Bacillus preparation,fructooligosaccharides on growth performance and the effects of serum immunoglobulin IgA,IgG,CD4,CD8,antibody levels in CSF.Eighty 28dold weaning Duric×Yorkshire×Landrace pigs were divided into four groups with four replicates,each of which including 5piglets for a 28-day feeding trial.The four treatment pigs were fed basal diets,basal diets with 0.1%Bacillus,0.4% FOS and 0.1% Bacillus+0.4% FOS inclusion respectively.The results indicated that the diet with FOS,Bacillus could significantly improve weaning daily gain,feed conversion rate and reduce diarrhea rate(P0.05);FOS,Bacillus could significantly improve weaning classical swine fever antibody levels,serum IgA levels and serum IgG levels(P0.05),but had little effect on CD4,CD8indicators.
