Abstract Recently, saccharicterpenin extracted from Camellia oleifera seed meal has become a widely used feed supplement in animal husbandry. In order to assess its safety, this study was designed to investigate the toxicity and histopathological effects of saccharicterpenin on piglets. One hundred-fifty weaned pigs ((Yorkshire×Landrace)×Duroc), 75 males and 75 females with body weight (BW) of (7.35±0.29) kg, were randomly allotted to groups receiving diets supplemented with 0, 500, 1 000, 2 500 or 5 000 mg kg−1 saccharicterpenin for 70 d. The diet with 500 mg kg−1 saccharicterpenin supplementation improved liver glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, and the diet with 1 000 mg kg−1 saccharicterpenin supplementation improved liver glutathione S-transferase (GSH-S) activity in piglets on d 70 (P
