Antibiotics and lectin C for diarrhea control intervention in piglets and influences.

Abstract

The study was conducted on 60 L of suckling piglets out of 775 piglets, of which 227 piglets had diarrhea litres of piglets, and out of 775 piglets, 227 piglets had diarrhoea syndrome. There were 3 interventions in separate trials as follows: 1 and 2 involved antibiotic use (Enrofloxacin and Gentamicin); Trial 3 used the supplement Lectin C (LvCLT3 and LvCLT4) for a treatment period of 3-7 days. Intervention results on 227 piglets with diarrhea showed the highest cure rate when supplemented with Lectin C, with no mortality rate, longer treatment time, and no reinfection rate. While the two antibiotic trials still had lower cure rates, mortality and reinfection rates were higher. After 05 days of recovery, piglets were tested for MCV, MCH, and MCHC, showing an apparent decrease in the group supplemented with Lectin C, while the two groups using antibiotics still had high rates, with a confidence level of P < 0.05; 0.01 and 0.001. Antibiotics treat piglets in their early stages, so there is a risk of immunodeficiency and low infection response. It is necessary to supplement substances derived from dietary supplements. Supplementing Lectin C increases resistance, enhances immune response, improves the effectiveness of treating diarrhoea syndrome in piglets, and ensures safe meat quality in the future. Lectin C supplementation will improve piglet health and breed quality efficiency. This heralds a promising future for the pig industry with improved meat quality and reduced environmental impact.
