Abstract

We examined the latex bead phagocytic activity (number of phagocytes or phagocytic rate) of monocytes and the growth of piglets, given the plant polysaccharide supplement C-UPⅢ. Feed mixed with 0% (control), 0.05%,0.1%, 0.2% or 0.4% of C-UPⅢ was given on three consecutive days to recently weaned piglets. Increased phagocytic activity of monocytes was noted in all C-UPⅢ-treated groups at 7 and 14 days following the start of treatment. Meanwhile lower phagocytic activity was noted in the control groups, compared to before the treatment. The weight gain and feed conversion rate were higher in all C-UPⅢ groups than in the control piglets, especially in the 0.2% and 0.4% C-UPⅢ groups. These results suggest that C-UPⅢ is an effective way of promoting immunological activation in recently weaned piglets with lowered biophylaxis.
