To investigate the effect of Biomin® HepaFit on the performance and health in piglets during weaning period.
Trial 1:
2 groups:
Control group: conventional diet
Trial group: conventional diet + 0.5 % HepaFit
Trial lenght: from day 2 to day 13 post weaning (12 days)
Weaning age: 25 days
 | Control | Biomin® HepaFit | % difference |
| Weaning weight (kg) | 8,14 | 8,2 | |
| Weight d13 (kg) | 10,8 | 11,43 | +5,6 |
| ADWG (g/d) | 206 | 249 | +20,0 |
| Feed intake (g/d/pig) | 377 | 374 | -0,8 |
| Feed conversion | 1,83 | 1,5 | +18,0 |
- increased growth rates in the post weaning period
- increased feed conversion in the post weaning period
