Abstract: 76 piglets(divided into 4 groups, 19 piglets each group ) were used to investigate the effects of glutamine on the growth performance and diarrhoea of piglets weaned at 28±2 days. The results showed that: The ADG of groups supplied with glutamine increased [The group of 1.2%Gln obviously increased (P<0.05)]. The ADFI of groups supplied with glutamine decreased (P>0.05). The feed conversion rate of groups supplied with glutamine decreased [The group of 1.2%Gln obviously increased (P<0.05)]. The diarrnhoea rate, diarrhoea frequency and mortality of groups supplied with glutamine also decreased compared with the control group (P>0.05). The results suggested that the weaned diet with the addition of glutamine could improve feed conversion rate and the performance of early piglets, reduce the rate of diarrhoea and mortality.
