Abstract
32
A total of 160 weanling pigs ((Duroc × Landrace) × Yorkshire; average initial weight of 7.67 ±
33
0.97 kg, 28 ± 1 d of age) were allotted into 1 of 4 treatments to determine effects of dietary
34
electrolyte balance (dEB, Na + K - C1 mEq/kg of the diet) on growth performance and nutrient
35
digestibility. Pigs were fed 4 diets with different dEB levels: 0, 83, 166, and 250 mEq/kg of dEB
36
for 4 weeks. Various dEB values were obtained by altering the concentrations of calcium
37
chloride, calcium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate. Pigs fed diets with dEB of 166 and 250
38
mEq/kg exhibited greater average daily gain (ADG) than those fed 0 mEq/kg diet throughout the
39
experiment (P < 0.05). During d 14 to 28 and d 0 to 28, the average daily feed intake (ADFI) was
40
greater in 166 and 250 mEq/kg dietary treatments compared with 0 mEq/kg dietary treatment (P
41
< 0.05). However, no difference was observed on gain to feed ratio between dietary treatments
42
throughout the experiment (P > 0.05). 166 and 250 mEq/kg dietary treatments had greater
43
apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of dry matter and nitrogen compared with 0 mEq/kg
44
dietary treatment (P < 0.05). There was no effect on ATTD of gross energy between dietary
45
treatments (P > 0.05). Taken together, these results suggested that weanling pigs obtained
46
optimal growth performance and nutrient digestibility when fed diets with dEB in the range of
47
166 to 250 mEq/kg.

1. Introduction Dietary electrolyte balance (dEB) has been reported to influence the acid base balance,
57
growth performance, and nutrient digestibility in pigs (Haydon and West, 1990; Dersjant-Li et al.,
58
2001b; Guzmán-Pino et al., 2015). Sodium (Na), potassium (K), and chloride (Cl) are the major
59
dietary ions that affect dEB (NRC, 2012; Saravanan et al., 2013). Dietary electrolyte balance,
60
under most circumstances, is suggested to be defined as milliequivalents (mEq) of Na plus K
61
minus Cl ions (Mongin, 1981).

56
Generally, a positive dEB level can optimize pigs’ growth, but a negative dEB may reduce
63
feed intake (Patience et al., 1987; Dersjant-Li et al., 2001a). NRC (2012) reported that the
64
optimal dEB for pigs is about 250 mEq/kg. However, discrepant results regarding the optimal
65
dEB for pigs were observed in previous studies. Guzmán-Pino (2015) suggested that pigs
66
obtained optimal growth rate when fed with diets containing dEB ranging from -16 to 133
67
mEq/kg. Dersjant-Li et al. (2001a) observed the optimal dEB for pigs could be between 200 and
68
500 mEq/kg. Additionally, Budde and Crenshaw (2003) found that growth performance were not
69
affected by different dEB levels (-35, 112, and 212 mEq/kg). The objective of this experiment,
70
therefore, was to investigate effects of 4 levels (0, 83, 166, 250 mEq/kg of diet) of dEB on
71
growth performance and nutrient digestibility of weanling pigs.

2.1. Experimental Design, Animals, and Housing
Page 4 of 16
One hundred and sixty weanling pigs [(Yorkshire × Landrace) × Duroc] with an average
77
initial body weight (BW) of 7.67 ± 0.97 kg were randomly allotted into 1 of 4 dietary treatments
78
with 10 replicates of 4 pigs (2 gilts and 2 barrows) each, according to initial BW and sex. The
79
dietary treatments included 4 levels of dEB (0, 83, 166, and 250 mEq/kg) with similar nutritional
80
levels. The dEB was calculated using the formula as: dEB (mEq/kg) = Na mEq/kg + K mEq/kg −
81
Cl mEq/kg (Mongin, 1981). All diets were formulated to meet or exceed the nutrient
82
requirements established by the NRC (2012). Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), calcium chloride
83
(CaCl2), and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) were used to obtain the required dEB. Diet composition
84
and nutrient contents of the experimental diets are presented in Table 1. Diets were fed in 2
85
phases during the 28-d feeding trial, including phase I (d 0 to 14) and phase II (d 14 to 28).
86
Before starting the experiment, the diets were analyzed for Na, K and Cl contents to calculate the
87
exact dEB. Na and K (method 985.01) were determined according to AOAC (2007) procedures,
88
and Cl was determined by the method described by Lacroix et al. (1970). Diets were offered in
89
meal form throughout the experiment. Pigs were allowed ad libitum access to the experimental
90
diets and water at all times. All pigs were housed in an environmentally controlled room with
91
forced ventilation and completely slatted plastic flooring. Each pen was equipped with a nipple
92
drinker and a metal feeder. The initial room temperature was maintained at 31°C and then
93
gradually decreased by 1°C every week.

Individual pig weight and feed consumption on a pen basis were recorded on d 0, 14, and 28.
96
Average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), and gain to feed ratio (G:F) were
97
calculated accordingly.
Page 5 of 16
To estimate the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of dry matter (DM), nitrogen (N),
99
and gross energy (GE), pigs were offered diets supplemented with chromic oxide (0.2%) as an
100
indigestible marker from d 8 to 14 and d 22 to 28. On d 14 and 28, fecal samples were collected
101
from all pens via rectal massage. Fecal samples from the same pen were pooled and mixed
102
immediately, after which samples were stored at –20°C until subsequent analysis were conducted.
103
For chemical analysis, fecal samples were oven-dried at 60°C for 72 h, after which diets and
104
feces were ground to pass through a 1.0-mm screen for analysis of DM (Method 930.15) and N
105
(method 984.13) using the AOAC (2007) procedures. Gross energy was determined by
106
measuring the heat of combustion in the samples, using a bomb calorimeter (Parr 6100; Parr
107
instrument Co., Moline, IL, USA). Chromium was analyzed via UV absorption
108
spectrophotometry (UV-1201, Shimadzu Corp., Kyoto, Japan), according to the method
109
described by Williams et al. (1962). The ATTD was then calculated using the following formula:

113
(% DM).

125
fed 166 and 250 mEq/kg diets as compared with pigs fed 0 mEq/kg diet. Pigs fed 166 mEq/kg
126
diet had greater ADG and ADFI compared with those fed 0 mEq/kg diet during d 0 to 28 (P <

137
This study was designed to determine effects of different dEB values (ranging from 0 to 250
138
mEq/kg) in weanling pigs. Different dEB was achieved through addition of different amounts of
139
calcium chloride, calcium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate. Austic (1983) indicated that pigs
140
showed optimal growth performance when dEB ranging from 100 to 300 mEq/kg. Patience et al.
141
(1987) compared diets that varied in dEB (-85, 0, 100, 175, 277, 341 mEq/kg) to determine the
Page 7 of 16
optimal dEB for growing pigs. Finally, they observed that pigs fed diet with a dEB around 175
143
mEq/kg obtained optimal growth performance. The results of the study of Dersjant-Li et al.
144
(2001a) suggested that optimal dEB for young pigs (5 to 10 weeks of age) was between 200 and
145
500 mEq/kg. In agreement with these previous studies, our findings showed that the growth of
146
pigs was affected by different dEB. Pigs fed diets with dEB of 166 and 250 mEq/kg obtained
147
greater ADG throughout the experiment and greater ADFI during d 14 to 28 and d 0 to 28
148
compared with those fed diets with dEB of 0 mEq/kg, although G:F was not affected by dietary
149
treatment. In the present study, calcium carbonate was replaced by calcium chloride to reduce
150
dEB value and maintain the same calcium concentration in the diets. Carnes (1977) and Yen et al.
151
(1981) observed that addition of calcium chloride decreased growth rate and feed intake in pigs.
152
Additionally, supplementation of calcium chloride may suppress appetite thereby reducing feed
153
intake. Therefore, the depression in growth performance in 0 mEg/kg diet may be due to the
154
addition of calcium chloride resulted in metabolic acidosis. Nevertheless, the optimal dEB for
155
pigs in the literature is inconsistent. Haydon et al. (1990) observed that increasing dEB (25, 100,
156
175, 250, 325, or 400 mEq/kg) for growing pigs linearly increased ADFI and ADG, whereas
157
feed efficiency was not affected. However, in finisher phase, ADFI was linearly increased with
158
the increase of dEB, but ADG and feed efficiency were unaffected by dEB. Guzmán-Pino et al.
159
(2015) observed that piglets fed low dEB diets between -16 to 133 mEq/kg had better growth
160
performance compared with piglets fed high dEB diets (ranging from 269 to 388 mEq/kg). In a 3
161
days feeding trial, Edwards et al. (2010) reported that 121 or 375 mEq/kg of diets did not
162
affected growth performance of finishing pigs. Patience and Chaplin (1997) found pigs fed -20
163
mEq/kg diet tended to grow faster than pigs fed 104 and 163 mEq/kg diets, but feed intake and

164
feed efficiency were not affected. The discrepancy between different studies about the optimal
165
dEB may be due to composition of diet, growth phase of pigs, and duration of the study. Haydon and West (1990) evaluated various dEB (-50, 100, 250, and 400 mEq/kg) on
167
digestibility of DM, GE, and N in growing pigs. The results indicated that ATTD of DM, GE,
168
and N were not affected by different dEB values. Guzmán-Pino et al. (2015) observed that pigs
169
fed 16 and 133 mEq/kg diets had higher apparent CP digestibility than pigs fed 269 mEq/kg diet.
170
In the present study, the ATTD of DM and N was higher in pig fed 166 mEq/kg diet compared
171
with those fed diets with dEB of 0 or 83 mEq/kg. Meanwhile, pigs fed diet with dEB of 250
172
mEq/kg showed higher ATTD of DM and N than pigs fed 0 mEq/kg diet. The improvement of
173
ATTD of DM and N may help to explain the better performance in pigs fed diet with 166 and
174
250 mEq/kg.
