Reducing dietary acid-binding capacity of low-zinc diets increased growth performance of weaned pigs in a commercial environment
To address post-weaning problems in piglets fed diets without pharmaceutical doses of zinc oxide (ZnO), the effect of reducing dietary acid-binding capacity (ABC) on weaned pig growth performance and diarrhea prevalence was evaluated. Immediately after weaning, 1,445 pigs [body weight (BW), 5.04 kg] were fed five tes...
