Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of dietary nano- iron on growth performance, nutrient utilization, and blood biochemical profile in grower pigs. An experiment was conducted considering twenty-four (N=24) weaned pigs of HDK-75   having an average body weight of 21.50± 0.38 kg selected from AICRP pig farm, and allotted into four treatment groups, each group with 6 pigs on a body weight basis. The treatment groups were T0 (Control), T1 (100 mg inorganic iron), T2 (75 mg organic iron), and T3 (50 mg nano iron). Results of the 90-day feeding trial showed that there was a significant difference (P<0.05) found in body weight gain and average fortnightly body weight change, which was observed from 75th to 90th day. However, FCR showed a significant difference (P<0.05) from 60th to 90th day among the different treatment groups. The feed intake and digestibility of nutrients did not show any significant effect except NFE digestibility which was significantly (P<0.05) higher in the T3 group. In hematological profiles, Hb, PCV, and RBC values were significantly (P <0.05) higher in the T3 group as compared to other treatment groups and there was no significant difference (P> 0.05) observed for platelet, WBC, lymphocyte, monocyte and granulocyte count. In blood biochemical parameters, serum protein and serum iron were found significantly (P<0.05) higher in the T3 group and there was no significant difference (P>0.05) observed for blood glucose, albumin, globulin, A:G, AST, ALT, and BUN. So, it can be suggested that supplementation of nano-Fe (50 mg per kg of diet) improves overall growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and hematological profile of the experimental pig to prevent the occurrence of piglet anemia.
