Effects of different sources and levels of dietary iron and selenium on the postprandial net portal appearance of these minerals in growing pigs.

ABSTRACT: The present study compares the net portal appearance of dietary iron (Fe) and selenium (Se) after meals containing different sources and levels of these minerals. Twelve pigs (55.1 ± 3.7 kg) were used in a cross-over design to assess the 11-h net portal-drained viscera (PDV) flux of serum Fe and Se after ingestion of boluses containing inorganic (I) or organic (O) dietary Fe and Se at industry average (A; 200 and 0.6 mg, respectively) or high (H; 400 and 1.2 mg, respectively) levels. Arterial serum Fe concentrations increased by an average of 158% within 6 h post-meal and gradually decreased thereafter (P < 0.001). Values were greater (P < 0.001) for I than for O until 6 h post-meal and greater (P ? 0.001) for A than for H from 4 to 8 h post-meal. For the whole post-prandial period (11 h), arterial serum Fe concentrations tended (P = 0.06) to be greater for I than for O and were lowest for HO (P ? 0.03). Net PDV flux of Fe tended to be greater for AI than for AO (P ? 0.07). Cumulative appearance of Fe in PDV serum (% of dietary intake) was greater for I than for O (2.43 vs. -0.76%; P = 0.02) and A tended to be greater than H (1.96 vs. -0.29 %; P = 0.09) until 3 h post-meal, but these effects further faded out (P ? 0.43). Arterial serum Se concentration decreased for all treatments (average of 7%) from premeal values (P < 0.001), and this was more pronounced for O than for I (P = 0.03). Irrespective of treatment, net PDV flux of Se was positive (different from 0, P ? 0.03) during the first 90 min post-meal, decreased to negative minimum values (different from 0, P = 0.03) at 5 h post-meal, and was not different from 0 thereafter (P ? 0.11). Cumulative appearance of Se in PDV serum (% of dietary intake) was greater for I than for O (20.0 vs. -3.8%; P = 0.04) only at 45 min post-meal. In conclusion, both dietary Fe and Se absorption are limited to the early post-meal period. Whereas for Fe, the level effect is in accordance with the known negative correlation between its dietary concentration and percentage of intestinal absorption, this was not the case for dietary Se. The postabsorptive availability of dietary I was greater than O for both minerals and, particularly for Fe, at low levels.

Project description:Developing host digestion-resistant starches to promote human health is of great research interest. Chemically modified starches (CMS) are widely used in processed foods and although the modification of the starch molecule allows specific reduction in digestibility, the metabolic effects of CMS have been less well described. This short-term study evaluated the impact of enzymatically modified starch (EMS) on fasting and postprandial profiles of blood glucose, insulin and lipids, and serum metabolome in growing pigs. Eight jugular-vein catheterized pigs (initial body weight, 37.4 kg; 4 months of age) were fed 2 diets containing 72% purified starch (EMS or waxy corn starch (control)) in a cross-over design for 7 days. On day 8, an 8-hour meal tolerance test (MTT) was performed with serial blood samplings. Besides biochemical analysis, serum was analysed for 201 metabolites through targeted mass spectrometry-based metabolomic approaches. Pigs fed the EMS diet showed increased (P<0.05) immediate serum insulin and plasma glucose response compared to pigs fed the control diet; however, area-under-the-curves for insulin and glucose were not different among diets. Results from MTT indicated reduced postprandial serum triglycerides with EMS versus control diet (P<0.05). Likewise, serum metabolome profiling identified characteristic changes in glycerophospholipid, lysophospholipids, sphingomyelins and amino acid metabolome profiles with EMS diet compared to control diet. Results showed rapid adaptations of blood metabolites to dietary starch shifts within 7 days. In conclusion, EMS ingestion showed potential to attenuate postprandial raise in serum lipids and suggested constant alteration in the synthesis or breakdown of sphingolipids and phospholipids which might be a health benefit of EMS consumption. Because serum insulin was not lowered, more research is warranted to reveal possible underlying mechanisms behind the observed changes in the profile of serum lipid metabolome in response to EMS consumption.

Project description:Simple Summary In the presented study, increasing phytase activity in the diet of grower–finisher pigs improved the bioavailability of minerals, increased their concentration in the femurs, and reduced their fecal and urinary excretion. The results of the research provide new information on the positive effect of the use of an appropriate level of microbial phytase supplementation, which reduces the anti-nutritional effect of phytates by improving the availability of minerals (mainly P, Ca, but also Mg, Zn, Cu, and Fe) for the animal, which, at the same time, limits the negative impact of unused minerals on the natural environment. Abstract The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of added phytase in the diet of pigs on utilization of minerals and to determine the essential levels of this supplement in compound feed. An additional aim of the study was a critical assessment of current recommendations regarding the level of phosphorus in the diet of pigs, taking into account the use of phytase. A total of 432 pigs were allotted to six dietary treatments, with nine replicate pens per treatment according to body weight (BW) and sex. The treatments included a negative control (NC) with reduced content of digestible phosphorus; the NC diet supplemented with 6-phytase produced by a genetically modified strain of Aspergillus oryzae in the amount of 250 (NC + 250), 500 (NC + 500), 1000 (NC + 1000), or 1500 (NC + 1500) FTU/kg of feed; and a positive control (PC) diet formulated to meet NCR nutrient requirements for pigs. The results showed that, the higher the phytase activity in the diet (NC+), the lower the concentration of P, Ca, and Mg in the chyme (p < 0.05). Pigs fed the PC and NC+ diets had higher plasma levels of P and Ca than group NC in both fattening periods (p < 0.05). The content of phosphorus in the femur of pigs increased with the level of phytase added to the diet (p < 0.05). The content of Cu and Zn in the femur of pigs in the growing period was higher in groups NC + 500 and NC + 1000 than in the remaining experimental groups (p < 0.001). The content of P and Ca in the feces was higher in pigs fed the PC diet in comparison to the remaining experimental groups in both fattening periods (p < 0.001). There was a decrease in the content of P, Ca, and Mg in the excreta of pigs fed NC+ diets in both fattening periods (p < 0.05). A linear decrease in excretion of zinc in the feces was noted in the case of high levels of phytase, i.e., 1000 and 1500 FTU (p < 0.001). Increasing the level of phytase decreased the Cu (p < 0.001) content in the urine of growing–finishing pigs. In conclusion, the analysis of the effects of the use of phytase in a range of 0–1500 FTU/kg in low-phosphorus diets for fattening pigs indicates that 1000 FTU is the most effective level of phytase for increasing utilization of minerals and reducing excretion of elements into the environment.
