Extract

The aim of the present study was to determine whether the addition of fumaric acid (FA) to the diet would influence nutrient digestibility in growing Kadon pigs. In pigs there is substantial fermentation in the intestinal tract. To monitor whether the feeding of fumaric acid had an effect on microbial activity, were analyzed the concentrations of volatile fatty acids (VFA) in intestinal contents.
