The main aim of this study was to explore effects of Bio Mos (Alltech, SAD) administered orally twice within the first 12 hrs of piglets life on their body weight and values of the following biochemical parameters in piglets sera: total protein, albumin, triglyceride, cholesterol, IgG, glucose and IGF I concentrations and activity of enzymes AST and ALT during the first 30 days of their life. Ten litters originating from the Yorkshire cows were included in the trial with total of 94 piglets (50 in treated and 44 in control group). Very shortly after farrowing and once again in 12 hrs half of the litter was administered 10 ml of Bio Mos suspension (75 g/L). The second litter half was treated in the same manner and at the same intervals with 10 ml of saline. We were able to conclude that peroral application of Bio Mos (twice within the first 12 hrs of piglets life, 0.75 g per piglet) resulted in statistically significant rise in total protein (+12.6 %) and IgG concentration after 48 hrs (+19.4 %). This treatment did not affect albumine concentration showing continuous elevation up to the age of 30 days. The same treatment did not alter concentrations of triglycerides, cholesterol and IGF I in the piglets sera. Glucose level in the sera was the highest on days 2 and 5 and decreased to basic levels thereafter. Treatment with MOS did not influence this parameter either. Moreover, activity of ALT and AST was not changed during the trial. Treated piglets were 505 g heavier at weaning when compared to controls and BWDG (body weight daily gain) was 21.8 g higher. MOS also reduced the number of piglets died and incidence of diarrhea.
