摘　　要：Background:Oligosaccharides(OS)are indigestible carbohydrates naturally found in milk.The composition of porcine colostrum OS may influence the growth and the health of the neonate and consuming optimal concentrations of OS may reduce piglet susceptibility to illness.In this manner,targeted supplementation of animal feed with OS is being explored as a health management tool in the livestock industry.The variation in OS composition between different breeds of pig and its association with the litter performance is currently unknown.The aim of this study was to characterize the colostrum OS composition from sows of different breed and parity and correlate this data with sow maternal traits.Methods:Eighty-three colostrum samples from parities 1 to 8 were gathered from 3 different breeds of sow:44 Large White sows,27 Landrace sows and 12 Duroc sows.Samples were taken between the birth of the first and the last piglet from sows that were not pharmacologically induced to farrow.OS were purified from the samples and analysed by MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry(21 OS compositions detected).The farrowing season and the maternal data were recorded for each sow,including the number of live piglets and the litter body weight at birth,at day(d)3 and at weaning.Results:Five OS compositions,including isomers of the bifidogenic Sialyllactose,Lacto-N-Tetraose and Lacto-NHexaose series,were detected in all the samples.Twelve other OS were identified in at least 50%of samples,and their abundances were affected by breed(P<0.05;6 of 12),marginally affected by season(P<0.10;3 of 12)and never by parity number.The abundances of each OS component were standardized by Z-score scaling(μ=0 and SD=1),transformed by principal component analysis,and four similarity clusters were generated.Cluster membership was associated with litter weight gain within 3 days(P=0.063)and at weaning(P<0.05),but not with piglet mortality within 3 days.Conclusions:OS composition of colostrum may partially explain the variability in maternal performance within and betw
