The effects of the use of vitamin-mineral pre-mixtures (premixes), imported and domestic origin were investigated in nutrition of sows in lactation, suckling piglets, and piglets in rearing. Research was performed on private farm Fencaros in Platicevo near Sabac (Serbia). Obtained results showed that: There was no significant difference in regard to loss of body mass and food consumption in sows during lactation; Feeding of suckling piglets with mixture containing adequate premix of domestic origin improved the growth rate in average by 7.6%; Cost of food when domestic premixes were used was by 5.3% higher and value of realized piglets by approx. 26.0% less favourable using imported premixes; In piglets in rearing, utilization of imported premixes had no significant effect on gain, but feed conversion was lower by 6.2% compared to domestic premixes; Domestic premix in mixtures reduced the cost of mixtures by 3.4% and reduced the cost of gain in rearing of piglets by 9.9% compared to nutrition with diets containing imported premixes. In general, obtained results showed that the utilization of both types of compared premixes can be recommended, but it is more economically efficient to use domestic premixes in nutrition of sows in lactation, suckling piglets and rearing piglets.
