Extract

The objectives of this experiment were to investigate the effect of adding a multi-enzyme product to a diet based on wheat, barley and soybean meal on faecal nutrient digestibility and nitrogen retention in early-weaned piglets.

A total of 36 pigs, weaned between 21 and 25 days of age, were assigned on weight and litter origin basis to two dietary treatments and placed in flat-deck pens of 6 pigs each. The design of the pens allowed total collection of urine and faeces separately.
