Effects of peroxidized lipids on intestinal morphology, antioxidant capacity and gut microbiome in piglets.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the effect of peroxidized lipids on piglets' growth performance, intestinal morphology, inflammatory reactions, oxidative stress in the liver, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and colon, and ileal microbiota. Twenty piglets (Duroc × [Landrace × Yorkshire]; age = 21 d old, BW = 6.5 ± 1 kg) were randomly assigned to two groups with 10 replicates per group and one piglet per replicate. The control group was fed 6% fresh soybean oil and the peroxidized soybean oil (PSO) group fed 6% PSO. The experimental feeding period lasted 24 d. The study found no impact on ADFI, ADG and gain to feed ratio (P > 0.05). However, the PSO group increased the diarrhea index and the serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase triglycerides, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and h
