Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Five diets were tested for their capacity to promote weight gains in newly-weaned, 19-d-old, rotavirus-exposed pigs. The diets were tested under conditions designed to minimize the stress of weaning. That is, rotavirus-exposed pigs were moved at weaning to an isolation unit, caged individually and fed hourly liquid diets that were high (approximately 26%) and low in protein (approximately 11%). In all experiments, pigs experienced postweaning rotavirus-associated diarrhea and depression in rate of gain. Pigs grew faster: when fed diets high in protein (approximately 26% protein) vs low in protein (approximately 11% protein) and when fed diets containing cows' milk proteins vs proteins from soybean flour. A diet containing antibodies to rotavirus did not ameliorate the weanling diarrhea.
