Abstract: In the present study, twenty of 2-crossbred York×Rongchang piglets were divided randomly into two groups, each for ten litters. Fructo oligo saccharides (FOS, 0.75%) were added into food for group Ⅰand groupⅡ as a control to indicate the effects of FOS in food to immune function in piglet. Blood were collected on 30 and 60 days of age to examine the Erythrocyte rosette forming cell rate (E-RFGR) and lymphocyte transformation rate (PHA). The results showed no significant difference on E-RFGR between group Ⅰand group Ⅱ on 30 days (P>0.05), while there were a considerably higher PHA in group Ⅰ than in group Ⅱ (P<0.05); Both E-RFGR and PHA on group Ⅰwere also higher than that of group Ⅱ (P<0.01)on 60 days. The above results showed that the food including FOS could improve the immune function in lymphocyte of piglets.
