Effect of Chitosan Extracted by Chemical Method from Shrimp Shell in Diet Supplementation on Growth Performance and Blood Biochemistry in Starting – Growing Pig (Body Weight 10-60 Kg)
Keywords:
chitosan, growth performance, swine, blood biochemistryAbstract
The effect of chitosan extraction from shrimp shell on growth performance was studied in starting – growing pigs total of 32 weaning pigs (Duroc x Large white x Landraces) were used the average initial weight of 10.37 kg. The experimental design was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) were selected and assigned randomly into 4 treatments. Each treatment involved 4 replicate with 8 pigs per group, group 1 basal feed, control and groups 2, 3 and 4 chitosan supplement 100, 200 and 300 ppm, respectively. The results found that the efficiency of absorption of nutrients all the pigs did not significantly (P>0.05), except for the fat absorption of groups, 200 and 300 ppm fed supplemental chitosan was significantly (P<0.05) compared with the control group. The growth performance of pigs in all experimental groups did not significantly (P>0.05). The effects on blood biochemistry, it was found that the group added chitosan 100 and 200 ppm had higher hematocrit than the control group with statistical significance (P<0.01). The total white blood cell count of chitosan supplement 200 and 300 ppm were higher than the control (P<0.01) and statistical significance with 2 groups (P<0.05). Therefore, supplementing chitosan should be used at the level of 300 ppm in feed formulas to be used as a supplement to the growth and increase the white blood cells, which may mean increased swine immunity will affect the health of pigs.
