Abstract:

This study aimed to compare and analyze the milk composition,serum biochemical indices and expression levels of Leptin and LF genes during lactation between Bamei pigs and Yorkshire pigs.The six purebred Bamei pigs and Yorkshire pigs with healthy body conditions were selected respectively,which also had close parity,mating and delivery periods(within three days).A total of 50 mL milk,2 mL serum and 2 mL whole blood samples were collected from Bamei pigs and Yorkshire pigs on the 1st,7th,14th,21st and 28th day after delivery,respectively.Then,the milk,serum and whole blood samples were used to detect the milk compositions,serum indexes of alkaline phosphatase(ALP),albumin(ALB),globulin(GLB),triglyceride(TG),urea nitrogen(BUN),alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST),and the expression levels of Leptin and LF genes.The results showed that on the 1st day of lactation in Baimei pigs,in addition to milk fat(Fat),the content of casein(CS),total protein(TP),total solid matter(TS),non-fat milk solids(SNF),lactose(L),free fatty acid(FFA)and acidity in the colostrum of Bamei pigs were all extremely significantly higher than those in the colostrum of Yorkshire pigs,while,the content of CS,TP,Fat,TS,SNF and L of Bamei pigs on the 21st day after delivery were extremely significantly lower than those of Yorkshire pigs.The serum biochemical indexes of two pig breeds showed different trends during the whole lactation.The content of ALT,AST,GLB,BUN and TG of Bamei pigs were significantly higher than those of Yorkshire pigs on the 1st day after delivery,while the content of ALP and ALB were all significantly lower than those of Yorkshire pigs.There were no different levels of these two genes on the 1st day,however,from the 7th day after delivery,the expression levels of LF in the Bamei pigs were significantly different than those in the Yorkshire pigs,while Leptin gene was extremely significantly expressed in Yorkshire pigs than in Bamei pigs.In general,the milk nutrients of Bamei and Yorkshire pigs showed a decreasing trend as the extension of the lactation periods,and the expression levels of Leptin and LF genes were likely related to the milk yield and quality between the two breeds,which may need to be further verified.
