The effect of addition of "Genesis" to feed mixtures in fattening of piglets was investigated. The starting weights of piglets in the control and experimental groups were different, because this was a continuation of an investigation of feeding with the addition of "Genesis" performed with the same groups of piglets. The obtained results show that the fattened pigs continued to gain weight in accordance with their starting weights, to reach the daily weight gain of 600 to 660 kg at the end of fattening. It was higher in the groups to which 45-48 g was added in the feed mixture than in the control group. Equally, the daily consumption of the mixture per 1 kg of weight gain was 210-230 g lower in the experimental groups of piglets (300-500 g of "Genesis") than in the control. The piglets which were given "Genesis" in the mixture were, at the end of the experiment, 3-4 kg, on the average, heavier than the piglets in the control group. In the control group fattening of 5 piglets was not continued because of small weight (22-25 kg). In all piglets of the experimental group, to which 300-500 g of "Genesis" was added, fattening was continued to 95 kg. The obtained results in the experimental fattening of piglets from 25 to 50, i.e. 60 kg show that "Genesis" has a property of a growth promoter.
