Effects of evaporation temperature,number of SPD steps in series and other distillation method on the octacosanol recovery and decomposition are studied. Although the experimental results indicate some decomposition when the mixture of higher primary aliphatic alcohols is distillated by SPD, SPD is still an effective method to purify octacosanol. It is concluded that evaporation temperature affects greatly on the purity and recovery of octacosanol.展开更多

A total of 105 crossbred piglets（[Yorkshire x Landrace] x Duroc） with an initial BW of5.70 ± 1.41 kg（21 d of age） were used in a 6-wk trial to evaluate the effects of octacosanol and tiamulin supplementation on contents of triiodothyronine（T3）,thyroxine（T4）,growth hormone（GH）,glucagon（GU） and adrenaline（AD） in blood and gene expressions of GLUT-4 and AMPK in liver and muscle. Piglets were randomly distributed into 3 dietary treatments on the basis of BW and sex. Each treatment had 7 replicate pens with 5 piglets per pen. Treatments were as followed: control group, tiamulin group and octacosanol group. The results showed that compared with control group and tiamulin group, octacosanol greatly promoted the secretion of T3, GH, GU and AD（P < 0.01） and significantly up-regulated the gene expressions of GLUT-4 and AMPK in muscle and liver tissues（P < 0.05）. There was no significant difference between the control group and tiamulin group in T3, T4, GH,GU or AD（P> 0.05）, Results of the present study has confirmed that octacosanol affects energy metabolism of body by regulating secretion of blood hormones and related gene expression in tissue of weaning piglets, which can reduce stress response and has an impact on performance.展开更多
