【 摘 要 】

This study investigates the effects of dietary oregano essential oil (OEO) and vitamin E(Vit E) supplementation on meat quality, stress response and intestinal morphology in pigsfollowing transport stress. A total of 288 finishing pigs were randomly assigned to threegroups a basal diet or a basal diet supplemented either with 200 mg/kg Vit E or 25 mg/kgOEO. After a 28-day feeding trial, total of 132 finishing pigs according diet andtransport stress were assigned to one of four treatment groups 1) control treatmentwithout transport stress (Control group), 2) control treatment with 5-hr transport stress(Negative group), 3) Vit E treatment with 5-hr transport stress and 4) OEO treatment with5-hr transport stress. Transport stress pigs had lower muscle 45 min pH (pHi) and higherdrip loss than control pigs. Dietary OEO and Vit E supplementation significantly increased45min pH under transport stress, and the OEO groups produced lower 24-hr drip loss values(P<0.05) than that of pigs from the negative group. TheOEO-supplemented pigs showed decreased serum levels of creatine kinase (CK) and cortisol(P<0.05), and decreased Hsp 27 (heat shock protein27) and Hsp 70 (heat shock protein 70) mRNA expression in the muscle(P<0.05). Additionally, histological analysis revealed intestinalepithelial damage in transport stress pigs that was reversed by dietary supplementationwith OEO. In conclusion, supplementation with dietary OEO may be superior tosupplementation with dietary Vit E in alleviating the meat quality, stress response andintestinal morphology of pigs after challenge due to transportation stress.
