| Description: | Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of bacteriophage cocktail supplementation in diet of gestation sows on both the sows and their progeny.Methods: A total of 57 F1 multiparous sows (Yorkshire×Landrace) were allotted to one of three treatment groups in a completely randomized design. The sows were fed cornsoybean meal-based diet supplemented with 0%, 0.05%, or 0.10% of a bacteriophage cocktail during the gestation, followed by a common diet during lactation. Body weight and backfat thickness were measured during the trial along with blood collection for immunoglobulin analysis. Fecal samples were collected on 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks of gestation period to examine fecal microflora. Litter performance and milk composition were investigated at 24 hrs postpartum and on d 21 of lactation.Results: Increasing bacteriophage cocktail supplementation levels in gestation diets resulted in linear increas (pLactobacillus count for d 63 and 105 of the gestation period, while concurrently decreasing Escherichia coli (E. coli; pSalmonella (pLactobacillus and a decrease of E. coli and Salmonella. |
