In this study we analyzed the effects of probiotic Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 on production performances of rearing piglets in the period from weaning to beginning of fattening. Influences of probiotic were observed using production parameters such as daily growth, feed conversion and mortality. The results indicate that the probiotics may well be a contribution to a healthy piglet rearing at least if they are used as integral part of a larger concept including management factors as well as other feed additives. Research of the effect of probiotic Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 showed better feed conversion ratio for 25.2%, higher daily gain for 40.4%, and lower percentage of mortality 4.76% for the control group versus 2.65 (P is less than 0.01) for the experimental one, during this experiment, for piglets in period from weaning to beginning of fattening.
