Influence of Trichoderma longibrachiatum xylanase supplementation of wheat and corn based diets on growth performance of pigs
1996
Van Lunen, T.A. | Schulze, H.
A trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplementing wheat- and coin-based diets with xylanase on growth performance and FCR of pigs from 10 to 18 wk of age. Seventy-two castrated male pigs were assigned to pens of two and in a randomized block design to six dietary treatments consisting of diets containing 60% wheat, 40% wheat and 20% corn, and 20% wheat and 40% corn with and without supplementation with xylanase. Feed and water were available ad libitum. Xylanase supplementation improved growth rate and FCR by 9.2 and 5.3%, respectively, regardless of level of wheat and corn inclusion.
