Three complete cereal-soybean grower diets with an approximate total protein content of 17.8 percent are analysed: a control diet, an experimental diet supplemented with 100 g/t of sodium saccharinate and an experimental diet supplemented with 200 g/t of vanillin. A 28-day growth test was conducted. The experiment was performed on 18 crossbred pigs (Polish Landrace x Duroc) aged 7 weeks, with mean initial body weights of 17.5 kg. The animals were assigned to three feeding groups by the analogue method (taking into account their age, body weight and litter of origin). They were placed in individual flat-deck cages equipped with automatic feeders and nipple drinkers. The pigs were fed friable feed ad libitum. Feed intake was monitored daily. The basic growth parameters of the animals were determined. The pigs were weighed individually on day 1, 14 and 28. It was found that sodium saccharinate and vanillin had no effect on the intake on experimental diets. However, the utilization of the diets containing these additives was highly significantly better, compared with the control diet
