Abstract

The effects of dietary supplementation with enzymatic complexes and plant extracts on weaned piglets were evaluated. Sixty piglets (28 days old) were assigned to six treatments: Control diet (CD); CD with 125 g/ton of Yucca schidigera extract (CDY); CD with 200 g/ton of enzymatic complex (CDE); CD with 400 g/ton of multi-enzymatic complex with emulsifier (CDME); CDE + 125 g/ton YSE (CDE+Y1) and CDE + 250 g/ton YSE (CDE+Y2). Piglets on the CDE+Y1 diet had better feed conversion ratio [...]
