effects of increasing zinc oxide on growth performance of weanling pigs

We conducted an experiment to determine the effects of increasing dietary ZnO on growth performance of early-weaned pigs. Four hundred and twenty weanling pigs (initially 4.45 kg and 13 d of age) were used in a 28-d growth trial. Zinc oxide replaced cornstarch in the control diet to provide 1000, 20...

Zusammenfassung:We conducted an experiment to determine the effects of increasing dietary ZnO on growth performance of early-weaned pigs. Four hundred and twenty weanling pigs (initially 4.45 kg and 13 d of age) were used in a 28-d growth trial. Zinc oxide replaced cornstarch in the control diet to provide 1000, 2000, 3000, or 4000 ppm of Zn. Increasing Zn increased (linear, P
