OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishThis study’s objective was to determine the impact of dietary humic substances on immune response and blood profiles in piglets. A total of 24 crossbred piglets (Slovakian White × Landrace; 35 days old; average body weight of 11.67 kg) were allotted to two dietary groups with (experimental; 5 g·kg−1) or without (control; 0 g·kg−1) natural humic substances supplementation. In this study, we observed a significant increase of the proportion of CD4+CD8- lymphocytes (p < 0.001) in the experimental group. The results also showed a tendency for an increase of the phagocytic activity and the engulfing capacity of phagocytes and the numbers of the other monitored lymphocyte subpopulations (CD3+, CD21+, CD4-D8+, CD4+CD8+, CD4+CD25+) in piglets in the experimental group compared to the control group. Supplementation of humic substances increased serum alkaline phosphatase compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Other monitored blood parameters were not significantly affected by dietary treatment. It concluded that inclusion of humic substances in the diet of piglets could have a stimulating effect on cellular immunity, without a negative effect on haematological and biochemical parameters.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceThe results of the study provide useful information regarding a diet supplementation with humic substances in low concentration could have a stimulatory effect on some immune cells and can positively affect cellular immunity in piglets. Due to the fact, that the concentration of humic substances we chose had a significant effect only on some indicators of cellular immunity, further studies will be necessary to choose an appropriate concentration and confirm the stimulating effect on immunity in this category of animals.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational processThe publication is a suitable study reference for PhD students.
