Abstract
The purpose of the this experiment was to evaluate taurine supplementation on growth performance backfat thickness and cholesterol and taurine concentrations in finishing pigs. A total of forty eight pigs (71.11$\pm$0.14kg initial body weight) were used in a growth assay. The control diet (CON) was corn-soybean meal based diet, whereas the other dietary treatments were supplemented by additional 0.3 and 0.6% of taurine into the control diet (TAU 0.3 and TAU 0.6, respectively). As the addition of taurine in the diets increased average daily weight gain (Quadratic effect, p＜0.05) and gain/feed (Quadratic effect p＜0.02) were improved. Total - cholesterol concentrations of serum (Linear effect, p＜0.04) and liver (Linear effect, p＜0.01) decreased with increasing taurine. As the addition of taurine in the diets increased taurine concentrations of plasma (Linear effect, p＜0.01), liver (Linear effect, p＜0.01) and boston butt (Linear effect, p＜0.01) were increased. In conclusion, finishing pigs fed the dietary taurine had improved growth ratio and decreased total-cholesterol concentrations of serum and liver. Also, finishing pigs fed the dietary taurine had increased taurine concentrations of plasma and boston butt.
