Abstract
Pigs are commonly wean~d at 23-27 days of age. By weaning earlier and providing pigs with high quality diets, it may be possible to increase growth performance up to slaughter. However, digestive capacity of early weaned pigs may be insufficient to fully digest many ingredients currently used in weaner diets. The aim of this experiment was to determine whether an exogenous enzyme preparation with broad carbohydrase activity could benefit pigs that were possibly developmentally immature at weaning.
