DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 18 (Animal Nutrition) Section cross-reference(s): 13 In order to investigate the effects of benzoic acid on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen balance and gastrointestinal microflora of piglets, we conducted a performance expt. and a sep. balance study. The performance expt. involved four different dietary treatments: (1) basal diet (neg. control); (2) basal diet supplemented with benzoic acid at 5 g/kg; (3) basal diet supplemented with benzoic acid at 10 g/kg; (4) basal diet supplemented with potassium diformate at 12 g/kg. Each dietary treatment was assigned to nine replicate groups, each consisting of two piglets. Live wt., daily wt. gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio were monitored as performance parameters over a 35-day period. Supplementation of the diet with benzoic acid resulted in a dose-dependent increase in feed intake and body wt. gain and an improved feed conversion ratio. Piglets fed the diet supplemented with benzoic acid at 10 g/kg outperformed the control piglets in mean feed intake, body wt. gain and feed conversion ratio by 9%, 15% and 6% resp.Several substances with their cas registry numbers 7664-41-7 and 20642-05-1 may be metioned in this study. Growth performance of the piglets fed the diet with benzoic acid at 10 g/kg was similar to that of piglets fed the diet supplemented with potassium diformate. In the balance expt. three groups of six piglets each were fed either a control diet or diets supplemented with benzoic acid at 5 or 10 g/kg resp. Benzoic acid did not significantly affect nutrient digestibility but increased nitrogen retention. Piglets fed the diets supplemented with benzoic acid at 5 or 10 g/kg retained 5% and 6% more nitrogen, resp., than control piglets. Supplementation of benzoic acid did not influence the pH value or the concn. of ammonia in the gastrointestinal tract but reduced the no. of bacteria in the digesta. In the stomach the no. of total aerobic, total anaerobic, lactic acid forming and gram-neg. bacteria was reduced; in the duodenum the presence of benzoic acid reduced the no. of gram-neg. bacteria and in the ileum the no. of total aerobic bacteria in a dose-dependent manner. Benzoic acid also considerably reduced the concn. of acetic acid in the duodenum. In conclusion, the data of this study suggest that benzoic acid exerts strong antimicrobial effects in the gastrointestinal tract of piglets and therefore enhances growth performance and nitrogen retention. .
