The Effect of Some Forage Additives Used in Feeding of Weaned Pigs
Keywords:
weaned piglets, zeolites, microelementsAbstract
The experiment was carried out over a group of 50 weaned piglets, allotted into two equal groups The control group (C) received a basal diet supplemented with a 2% premix – vitamins and microelements as oxides and salts mixed with maize flour-based diet; and the experimental group (E) received the same diet supplemented with 2% premix made of vitamins and microelements as chelated phosphoric glass on zeolite based diet. At the end of our research it was revealed that group (E) obtained a better growing gain, 11%, greater feed intake, 4.8%, and a smaller feed conversion rate of 7.3% versus group (C).
