【摘要】[Objective]The test was to investigate the effects of MM(Moringa oleifera and Morinda citrifolia) extracts on reproductive performance of multiparous sows and growth performance of suckling piglets.[Method]A total of 60 multiparous sows(Landrace × Large White, 2-4 parities)were randomly assigned into two treatments, 30 replicates per treatment and one sow per replicate.Sows in control group were fed with basal diet,and those in experimental groups were fed with the basal diet supplemented with 500 mg/kg MM extract.The trial lasted 28 d(from 7 d before de-livery to 21 d post lactation).[Result]MM extract had no significant effect on sow’s stage of labor and estrus rate at 7 d post weaning(P>0.05).MM extract had no significant impact on growth performance of suckling piglets(P>0.05).[Conclusion]Addition of MM extracts in the diet of multiparous sows at 7 d before delivery did not improve the performance of sows and piglets, but shortened sow ’s stage of labor and promoted estrus of sows after weaning to a certain extent.
