Effect of Wheat Quality and Xylanase Supplementation on Weaned Pigs

WShannon
Nutrition
October 22, 2020

Variation in nutritional quality of feed is common and impacts the pigs performance. Protein and fibre content influence nutritional quality between wheat samples. A fibre degrading enzyme supplement may reduce quality variation of wheat on pig performance. The variation was partially reduced by xylanase supplementation in weaned pigs.
