Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of feed supplementation with medium-chain monoglycerides (MG) on the growth performance, serum biochemistry, hepatic health, and gut microbiota of Dongliao black pigs. The results showed that 750 mg/kg of MG significantly increased body weight and slaughter rate, while it decreased feed conversion ratio and backfat thickness. In range of 250 mg/kg to 1000 mg/kg MG, there were no significant influences on glucolipid metabolism, the biomarkers of liver and kidney function, and appetite hormones in the serum. However, the control group exhibited massive hepatic lipid deposition, whereas this phenomenon was significantly alleviated after 750 mg/kg of MG intervention. The transcriptome results showed that 750 mg/kg of MG significantly increased the expression of genes related to cholesterol synthesis, cholesterol to bile acid conversion, bile acid glucuronidation, and bile acid reabsorption. Meanwhile, 750 mg/kg of MG prominently enhanced the concentration of total bile acid in the liver and feces. In brief, MG promoted the growth performance and improved the hepatic health of black pigs via the regulation of bile acid metabolism, therefore it has the potential to be used as a feed additive in finishing pigs, with an optimal dietary MG requirement of 750 mg/kg.
