| 2 | Disappearance and appearance of an indigestible marker in feces from growing pigs as affected by previous-and currentdiet composition显示文摘Background: Indigestible markers are commonly utilized in digestion studies, but the complete disappearance or maximum appearance of a marker in feces can be affected by diet composition, feed intake, or an animal's BW.The objectives of this study were to determine the impact of previous(Phase 1, P1) and current-(Phase 2, P2)diet composition on marker disappearance(Cr) and appearance(Ti) in pigs fed 3 diets differing in NDF content.Results: When pigs were maintained on the 25.1, 72.5, and 125.0 g/kg NDF diets, it took 5.1, 4.1, and 2.5 d, respectively,for Cr levels to decrease below the limit of quantitation; or 4.6, 3.7, or 2.8 d, respectively, for Ti to be maximized. These effects were not, however, independent of the previous diet as indicated by the interaction between P1 and P2 diets on fecal marker concentrations(P < 0.01). When dietary NDF increased from P1 to P2, it took less time for fecal Cr to decrease or fecal Ti to be maximized(an average of 2.5 d), than if NDF decreased from P1 to P2 where it took longer for fecal Cr to decrease or fecal Ti to be maximized(an average of 3.4 d).Conclusions: Because of the wide range in excretion times reported in the literature and improved laboratory methods for elemental detection, the data suggests that caution must be taken in considering dietary fiber concentrations of the past and currently fed diets so that no previous dietary marker addition remains in the digestive tract or feces such that a smal amount of maker is present to confound subsequent experimental results, and that marker concentration have stabilized when these samples are col ected. | Brandy M.Jacobs John F.Patience Merlin D.Lindemann Kenneth J.Stalder Brian J.Kerr | 2017 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2017，8，3： | 0 |
