Abstract
Growth setbacks and the occurrence of post-weaning colibacillosis in piglets in the first week post-weaning can have a major influence on the overall time taken to reach market weight. The inclusion of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in the diet has been advocated as a means of reducing the severity and incidence of post-weaning colibacillosis by accelerating large intestinal development (Bolduan et al., 1988). The aim of this experiment was to study the effects of differences in post-weaning dietary NSP on pig growth, gut development, and intestinal proliferation of haemolytic Escherichia coli.
