Dietary inclusion of mineral detoxified nano-sulfur dispersion on growth performance, fecal score, fecal microbial, gas emission, blood profile, nutrient digestibility and meat quality in finishing pigs

This study is to evaluate the effects of mineral detoxified nano-sulfur dispersion (DSD) on growth performance, fecal score, microbiota, gas emissions, blood profile, nutrient digestibility, and meat quality in finishing pigs. A total 160 pigs with an initial body weight (BW) 54.90 ± 5.10 kg were randomly assigned two treatments including basal diet 10 ppm DSD. During wk trial, there no differences BW, average daily gain, feed intake, gain ratio between control DSD groups. Also, emission not affected by diet. Dietary inclusion tended increase water-holding capacity decrease cooking loss drip loss. At week 5, serum concentrations glucose, calcium (Ca), cholesterol, high-density level cholesterol increased, triglyceride concentration was reduced fed than diets. In summary, dietary pig has improved Ca, glucose concentrations, lipid profiles as well improves some traits.
