dc.description.abstractThe focus of the present investigation was to highlight the findings of effectiveness of dietary supplementation of vitamin E and selenium in grower Ghungroo pigs on growth, hematobiochemical, endocrine, immunity and antioxidant status. Eighteen healthy female grower Ghungroo pigs (Susscroffa domestica) of 2-3 months were selected randomly for the experiment and divided into three groups. The control group (n=6) fed only the basal diet, animals of treatment-1 (T1) group (n=6) were supplied with vitamin E (in form of α tocopherol acetate) @11IU/Kg feed and animals of treatment-2 (T2) group of animals (n=6) were supplemented with selenium (as sodium selenite) @0.15mg/Kg feed daily as per NRC recommendations. The body weight, morphometric parameters of growth and physiological responses were recorded at the interval of 15 days. Blood samples were collected from all the experimental animals on day 15, day 30, day 45 and day 60 of supplementation. Vitamin E and selenium were estimated in the plasma. Hematological parameters were evaluated as per standard procedures. Blood biochemical, endocrine (cortisol, T3 and T4) and total antioxidant status were evaluated by commercially available kits as per manufacturer’s protocol. In vitro phagocytic activity and lymphocyte proliferation response were evaluated by colorimetric NBT and MTT assay respectively. The supplementation of vitamin E and selenium significantly (P<0.01) increased plasma vitamin E and selenium concentration in grower Ghungroo pigs from 15th day of supplementation and persisted till the end of experiment. The supplementation of vitamin E and selenium did not have any significant effect on the growth related morphometric parameters in Ghungroo pigs. The supplementation of vitamin E increased haemoglobin and MCH concentration whereas, selenium supplemented pigs showed higher PCV, MCV, TEC and TLC. The supplementation of vitamin E significantly increased plasma glucose and decreased AST and ALT whereas, selenium supplementation resulted higher total protein in experimental pigs. Vitamin E-treated group had a considerably greater T3 and T4 level and lower cortisol level than the control and selenium-treated groups. Vitamin E supplementation improved the immune status of the growing Ghungroo pigs in terms of in vitro lymphocyte proliferation response, phagocytic activity of neutrophils along with increased total antioxidant status. In conclusions, the present investigation depicted that dietary supplementation of vitamin E had beneficial effect on the immunity and antioxidant status in grower Ghungroo pigs without affecting normal growth and physio-biochemical functions.
