Effects of tribasic copper chloride (TBCC), Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product (YFP), and narasin (NAR) supplementation on growth performance of 12 to 25 kg pigs

An abstract of a study Fruge et al determining the effects of TBCC (Intellibond C, Micronutrients), YFP and NAR (Skycis, Elanco Animal Health) alone and in combination on growth performance of 12 to 25 kg pigs is presented. Overall, pigs fed with dietary treatments (TRT) 6 had the greatest ADG, followed by TRT 2, 4, and 5, with TRT 1 and 3 being the poorest. Pigs fed TRT 6 had the highest ADFI (P < 0.05) compared with pigs fed TRT 3, with all other TRT being intermediary. Feed efficiency was greatest (P < 0.05) for pigs fed TRT 6 and poorest for pigs fed TRT 1 and 3. Pigs fed TRT 2 and 5 had similar (P < 0.05) GF to TRT 6 and 4, but TRT 4 was not similar (P > 0.05) to TRT 6.
