Sixty Large White × Landrace primiparous sows were divided into four groups (fifteen sows per group). The control group was fed with basal diet, the others were fed with basal diet supplemented with 0.02%, 0.04% and 0.06% PFA, respectively. Compared with the control, the sows in 0.04% PFA group had higher feed intake during lactation and higher litter weaning weight (P 〈 0.05). At farrowing, glucose level in 0.04% PFA sows was higher than the control and sows in 0.02% PFA had the highest IgG content among the treatments (P 〈 0.05). On day 7 of lactation, serum urea nitrogen contents were lower in response to PFA supplementation compared to the control (P 〈 0.05). At the same time, sows fed the 0.06% PFA diet increased the lysozyme activity (P 〈 0.05). The levels of milk lactose and IgG were increased in 0.02% and 0.04% PFA groups (P 〈 0.05). In conclusion, feeding PFA improved sows and litter performance, serum metabolite concentrations, lgG level and lysozyme activity at postpartum and milk quality.展开更多

It is found that Zn substitution can stabilize the structure of τ-phase and thus a significant amount of τ-phase can be produced. Zn increases the coercivity and saturation magnetization of the τ-MnAl but reduces the Currie temperature. However, excess Zn is detrimental to the magnetic parameters. The optimum magnetic performance was found in samples with Zn substitution to 2.9% Mn atoms and 3.5% Al atoms, respectively.展开更多
