THE EFFECT OF THE ZEOLITES USED IN FEEDING OF WEANED PIGS ON THE MAIN BIOPRODUCTIV INDICATORS
Abstract
The experiment was carried out over a group of 34 weanedpiglets, allotted into two equal groups The control group (C) received a basal diet supplemented with a 1% premix - vitamins and microelements as oxides and salts mixed with maize flourbased diet; and the experimental group (E) received the same diet supplemented with 1% premix made of vitamins and microelements as chelated phosphoric glass on zeolite based diet. At the end of our research it was revealed that group (E) obtained a better growing gain, 6.3%, greater feed intake, 0.7%, and a smaller feed conversion rate of 6.2% versus group (C).
