| description | Selenium <i>Auricularia cornea</i> culture (SAC) is a new source of organic selenium. Two experiments were conducted to determine the available energy of SAC fed to pigs and to evaluate the effects of dietary SAC supplementation on growth performance, serum biochemical profiles, fecal short chain fatty acids (SCFA), meat quality, tissue selenium concentration, and oxidative stability of fresh meat in growing-finishing pigs. In Experiment (Exp.) 1, 12 barrows with average body weight (BW) of 42.40 ± 5.30 kg were randomly allotted to two groups and fed the basal diet and SAC-supplemented diet, individually. In Exp. 2, 96 growing-finishing pigs (BW: 91.96 ± 7.55 kg) were grouped into four dietary treatments; each treatment contained six replicates with four pigs per replicate. The four treatments fed a control diet and three experimental diets supplemented with 0.6%, 1.2%, and 2.4% SAC, respectively. The trial lasted for 45 days. The results revealed that digestible energy (DE) of SAC was 11.21 MJ/kg. The average daily gain (ADG) was improved in pigs fed 1.2% and 2.4% SAC during day 24 to 45 and the overall period. Dietary 1.2% and 2.4% SAC supplementation had a lower F/G (<i>p</i> < 0.05) than the control diet during different stages. Dietary SAC supplementation increased fecal butyrate contents (<i>p</i> < 0.05), and pigs fed 1.2% and 2.4% SAC diets had a higher MCT1 mRNA expression (<i>p</i> = 0.04) in the colon. Pigs fed 2.4% SAC had higher GSH-Px contents (<i>p</i> < 0.05) in serum, liver, and <i>longissimus dorsi</i> muscle (LDM) than those in the control group. The 2.4% SAC-supplemented group revealed a higher Se content (<i>p</i> < 0.05) in LDM and a lower MDA concentration (<i>p</i> < 0.05) in fresh meat during the simulated retail display on day six. In conclusion, this study suggested that SAC was more effective in improving growth, enhancing the antioxidant status, depositing Se in muscle, and increasing meat oxidative stability of pigs. |
