SUMMARY:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of glycoelectrolytic supplement on performance, blood parameters and intestinal morphology of piglets in the post-weaning period. 240 piglets Agroceres PIC weaned in the age of 22.60 + 1.10 days and inicial average weight of 6.30 + 1.0 Kg were used. The control group (n=120) received only water and the treatment group (n=120) received the oral glycoelectrolytic supplement diluted in water (0,75%) in accessory troughs during the first three days after weaning. Were evaluated the parameters of feed consumption, daily weight gain, final weight, feeding conversion and mortality rate at 3, 7 and 49 days after weaning. The blood glucose analysis was made in all piglets in the third day of the experiment. Blood was collected from 12 piglets of each treatment on the third day after weaning for blood count analysis. After, the piglets were euthanized to collect fragments of duodenum and jejunum for anatomopathological and intestinal morphometric evaluations. The occurrence of diarrhea and feces runoff was verified in all piglets during the supply of glycoelectrolytic. The statistical analyses of performance data, blood parameters and intestinal morphometry was made using ANOVA with the comparison between averages by the F test, in a level of significance of 5%. According to the results, was observed a better feed conversion (1.29) in the piglets group supplemented with glycoelectrolytic and a higher consumption of liquids (0.639 L/day) in the third day after weaning (P<0,05). The supplemented group of piglets obtained a glycemic index (80.78 mg/dL), average corpuscular volume (67,35 fL) and average corpuscular hemoglobin (20.46 pg) superior to the group of control piglets (P<0,05). The evaluation of the intestinal integrity and the probability of occurrence of diarrhea was similar between the groups (P>0,05). The oral glycoelectrolytic supplement can be an option to piglets right after weaning, as it improved the feed conversion and the consumption of liquids, besides increasing blood glucose without the ocurrence of diarrhea, thus reducing dehydration and energy deficit.
