Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Three 28-d experiments were conducted to determine the effects of dietary acidifiers on the growth performance of nursery pigs housed under both university and field conditions. All diets were corn-soybean meal—based and fed in meal form. Each experiment consisted of a 2-phase diet series with decreasing nutrient concentrations in the second phase. The same 4 dietary treatments were evaluated in all 3 experiments, including a control with (1) no acidifier, (2) 0.5% Vevovitall (DSM Nutritional Products, Parsippany, NJ), (3) 0.2% Kem-Gest (Kemin Americas, Des Moines, IA), or (4) 0.05% Buti- Pearl (Kemin Americas). In Exp. 1, 280 weanling pigs (PIC …
