ผลของการเสริมสมุนไพรผสม (เฮอร์บาท๊อปมิกซ์) ในอาหารต่อสมรรถนะการผลิตของแม่สุกรและลูกสุกร

Abstract

Thirty crossbred sows (Yorkshire x Landrace) at their second pregnancy were used to investigate the effect of herbal mixture (Herbatob-Mix®) at levels of 0.05% in gestation and 0.10% in lactation diets. Sows were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 = control group, group 2 = added herbal mixture at 16 days of gestation period until lactation period at 21 days and group 3 = added herbal mixture at 84 days of gestation period in which the supplementation levels similars as group 2. Inclusion herbal mixture in 16 days of gestation period until 21 days of lactation period showed evidence of improvement in both sow and piglets performance by showing increasing (P<0.05) sow’s milk yield and led to show increasing (P<0.05) piglets born alive per litter, number of piglets wean, survival rate of piglet weaning and uniformity of live weight of piglets at weaning. Additive of Herbatob-Mix® also showed better health in sows when compared with the control group by showed less body weight losses and decreased overall back fat losses during lactation period (P>0.05) which can be related to the overall sows to return from weaning to service faster. Feeding Herbatob-Mix® at 16 days of gestation period showed evidence of improvement in both sows and piglets better than feeding herbal mixture at 84 days of gestation.
