1 Introduction

The important part of agriculture in many countries is currently pig farming [1]. Due to the relatively high growth rate of piglets and the fecundity of sows, modern pig farming has become a reliable source of meat and bacon in many countries, which has made this industry highly profitable. To further increase the economic efficiency of pig farming, it is necessary to obtain new knowledge on the physiology of piglets and their active implementation. It becomes clear that the study of age-related features of hematological parameters and especially hemostasis has great prospects [2].

It is recognized that platelet aggregation activity is an important element of hemostasis in a growing piglet’s body. The degree of its severity in piglets largely controls the functional state of primary hemostasis and the severity of microcirculation in their tissues [3, 4], determining the formation of many functional mechanisms, including during the phase of milk feeding. The aggregation activity of platelets in this phase significantly determines the growth and development of the animal during subsequent early ontogenesis and, ultimately, the level of its productive properties at its end [5]. At the same time, the anti-aggregation ability of platelets in milkweed piglets has not yet been sufficiently studied; the severity of platelet aggregation in vitro and in vivo has not been clarified. In this regard, the present study was planned and conducted.

The research purpose: to find out the aggregation activity of platelets in piglets during the phase of milk feeding.

Platelet aggregation activity in milk piglets

2 Materials and methods

The study was carried out in strict accordance with the ethical principles established by the European Convention for the Protection of Vertebrates Used for Experimental and Other Scientific Purposes (adopted in Strasbourg on March 18, 1986 and confirmed in Strasbourg on June 15, 2006).

The study took 15 healthy pigs of dairy nutrition of the large white breed, which were examined and examined 4 times: on the 6th day, 10th day, 15th day and 20th day of their life.

The study included the determination of plasma lipid peroxidation activity by the content of acyl hydroperoxides, thiobarbituric acid-active products by the Agat-Med company set (Russia) and antioxidant activity of the liquid part of the blood [6].

In piglets, platelet aggregation (AP) activity was determined [7] based on a visual micromethod with ADP (0.5×10−4 M), collagen (1: 2 dilution of the main suspension), thrombin (0.125 U/ml), ristomycin (0.8 mg/ml) and adrenaline (5.0×10 −6 M) with a standardized platelet count in the test plasma of 200×10−9 platelets/l. The index antiaggregation activity vascular wall (IAAVW) was calculated by dividing the time of antibodies during venous congestion by the time of development of antibodies without it [7].

Intravascular platelet aggregation was determined with phase contrast [8].

The research results were processed using student’s criterion (td).

3 Results

Piglets during the milk feeding phase showed a decrease in blood levels of primary products of plasma lipid peroxidation – acyl hydroperoxides and secondary – thiobarbituric acid-active compounds from 1.48±0.012 D2331ml to 1.37±0.016 D233/1ml and from 3.40±0.022 pmol/l to 3.24±0.018 pmol/l, respectively. The revealed decrease in the peroxidation intensity was possible as a result of an increase in the activity of the antioxidant potential of their plasma from 34.5±0.16 to 36.6±0.07%.

It was found that in dairy piglets, AP gradually accelerated. The earliest was AP under the influence of collagen (table). Slightly slower AP developed under the influence of ADP, ristomycin and H2O2. Thrombin and adrenaline antibodies appeared even later, gradually accelerating during the phase of milk supply (p <0.05).

For piglets of milk nutrition, a tendency to growth from 6 to 20 days of IAAVW life was characteristic for all applied inductors (table). The highest IAAVW was found in the assessment of antibodies with adrenaline in view of its maximum inhibition with this inducer during venous occlusion.

A slightly lower level of IAAVW is recorded with H2O2 and thrombin. IAAVW with collagen (up to 1.47±0.02), with ADP (up to 1.48±0.03) and ristomycin (up to 1.49±0.07) were also inferior to them, also experiencing a slight tendency to increase during the phase milk nutrition.

In piglets between 6 to 20 days, the number of small and large aggregates increased by 20.0 and 31.2%, respectively. Moreover, the platelet content in the aggregates in the animals observed reached 7.9±0.02% at the end of the phase, against 7.2±0.05% at its beginning (table).

Thus, in healthy piglets during the phase of milk feeding, an increase in vascular disaggregation activity is noted, which is one of the mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis in these animals at this age.

4 Discussion

One of the highest priorities of modern agriculture is rightly considered to be increasing production of high-quality meat products. One of the ways to solve this problem is considered to be the development of pig production - a highly profitable industry that can produce high-quality, competitive products consumed by different segments of the population of the whole world.

In this regard, the provision of food security of any state in the current conditions is rightly associated in many respects with the increase in production of pork. This makes this industry one of the priorities in agriculture, and it is in dire need of introducing innovative developments for its further intensive development [8].

The phase of milk nutrition is one of the most important stages of the early ontogenesis of the piglet, which largely fixes the adaptation of the body to environmental conditions and ensures its preparation for the start of nutrition with vegetable feed [9].

In the phase of milk nutrition, the formation of all organs and systems in accordance with the genetic program of a living creature under the influence of environmental factors is very active [10]. One of the systems linking the animal’s body together is the hemostatic system. It is multifunctional and through a number of mechanisms is connected with other systems, organs, which in turn affect the state of aggregation of blood [12, 13].

Inactive plasma lipid peroxidation in milk piglets causes weak platelet alteration, restraining their aggregation ability, apparently due to weakening of the synthesis of proaggregants in them, providing the proper level of microcirculation in the tissues, necessary for the body’s needs in conditions of milk nutrition and preparation for the beginning of intake organism of plant food [14].

A certain increase in platelet adhesion in milkweed piglets occurs through the growth of collagen receptors glycoproteins Ia-IIa and VI on their surface, which was indirectly established by enhancing antibodies with collagen [15]. Also at this age in piglets, increased platelet adhesion occurred due to increased production of von Willebrand factor in the vessel walls and its active binding to its receptors – (GPI B) on the surface of blood platelets [16, 17].

Against the background of a slight increase in the production of physiological antiplatelet agents in the vessels, a physiological level of fixation of strong aggregation agonists – collagen and thrombin to receptors on the platelet membrane is maintained at an optimum activity of phospholipase C, phosphoinositol platelet activation pathway and phosphorylation of contractile system proteins [18, 19].

Under conditions of a gradual increase in the synthesis of prostacyclin and nitric oxide in vessels, the increasing effect of weak aggregation inducers – ADP and adrenaline on platelet receptors was physiologically balanced [20, 21]. Apparently, the achieved effect is based on a decrease in the density and activity of platelet glycoproteins, which function as their receptors, as well as fibrinogen receptors (GPIIb-IIIa) [22, 23]. These receptor changes were inevitably accompanied by a weakening of the activity of phospholipase A2 in platelets of piglets, which led to the elimination of a limited amount of arachidonic acid from their phospholipids [24, 25].

The increase in blood levels of disaggregants also restrained their functional capabilities of platelet cyclooxygenase and thromboxane synthetase, which minimized the synthesis of proaggregate prostaglandins in the animals observed and inhibited platelet aggregation [26]. The found slight increase in milk feeding piglets of platelet aggregation activity was confirmed by the results of evaluation of intravascular platelet activity [27, 28].

This confirmed that at this age, they increased the production of aggregating substances in platelets, which was functionally balanced by vascular disaggregants in real blood flow conditions during the second phase of early ontogenesis [29, 30]. This also indicated a low expression in the blood of animals of collagen of subendothelium due to the high integrity of the endothelial layer, which ensures optimum synthetic processes in it [31, 32].

5 Conclusion

Platelets are a physiologically significant component of the hemostatic system in piglets. The degree of their aggregation in piglets largely controls the functional state of primary hemostasis and the severity of microcirculation in their tissues. The aggregation activity of platelets in the phase of milk nutrition significantly determines the growth and development of the animal during subsequent early ontogenesis and, ultimately, the level of its productive properties.

During the study, milk piglets showed a low activity of lipid peroxidation in the liquid part of the blood. This was accompanied by an increase in the antiplatelet activity of blood vessels, providing the necessary level of their control over the aggregation activity of platelets.

It is clear that the increase in platelet activity in piglets during the second phase of early ontogenesis, physiologically balanced by the enhanced antiaggregatory properties of blood vessels, is the basis of the physiological optimum of hemocirculation processes in small vessels, and, consequently, the sufficiency of anabolism and necessary growth.
