Various acids supplement on the performance and behaviour of 19 day weaning piglets.

Lee W.H., . and Hsia L.C., . (2004) Various acids supplement on the performance and behaviour of 19 day weaning piglets. [Proceedings Paper]

One hundred of 19 day weaning piglets were used in the experiment. The trial was divided into three phases during the total eight weeks. Phase 1 and 2 were two weeks. Phase 3 was four weeks. The crude protein contents of diet from phase 1 to 3 were 20 18 and 16 respectively. Five treatments involved in the experiment. Treatment 1 was control treatment. Each treatment from treatments 2 to 5 added one of commercial products of acids respectively. There was no significantly difference on feed intake among treatments p greater than 0.05 although treatments 2 and 3 had better intake on average than others during 1-4 weeks. Pigs in treatment 2 3 and 4 had better intake on averag thanothers. Piglets in treatment 4 always had significantly better weight gain than control and treatment 2 during 1 to 4 5 to 8 and 1 to 8 weeks p less than 0.05. All the four acidifier feeds had 2.5 0.146 0.208 and 11.5 respectively better weight gain than control treatment. The experiment results also shown that all acidifier diet had less drop on feed intake during shift from previous phase to a new phase diets. Piglets in all acidifier diets had more drinking behaviour than control group.

Abstract

One hundred of 19 day weaning piglets were used in the experiment. The trial was divided into three phases during the total eight weeks. Phase 1 and 2 were two weeks. Phase 3 was four weeks. The crude protein contents of diet from phase 1 to 3 were 20 18 and 16 respectively. Five treatments involved in the experiment. Treatment 1 was control treatment. Each treatment from treatments 2 to 5 added one of commercial products of acids respectively. There was no significantly difference on feed intake among treatments p greater than 0.05 although treatments 2 and 3 had better intake on average than others during 1-4 weeks. Pigs in treatment 2 3 and 4 had better intake on averag thanothers. Piglets in treatment 4 always had significantly better weight gain than control and treatment 2 during 1 to 4 5 to 8 and 1 to 8 weeks p less than 0.05. All the four acidifier feeds had 2.5 0.146 0.208 and 11.5 respectively better weight gain than control treatment. The experiment results also shown that all acidifier diet had less drop on feed intake during shift from previous phase to a new phase diets. Piglets in all acidifier diets had more drinking behaviour than control group.
