Zusammenfassung

Weaning is a stressful period for piglets due to changes in diet composition, Environment and bacterial challenges, contributing to reduced feed intake and depressions in growth rate. To date, not a single strategy has proved to be very effective and it is probable that the most successful Approach on a farm will involve a combination of diet modification and other preventive measures. Therefore, the aim of the study is to test the efficacy of different blends alone or in combination supplemented to basal starter and grower diets fed to post-weaning piglets from d 25 to 66 d of age at recommended dose Levels. Impacts will be demonstrated on growth Performance and Health Status throughout the 42-d experimental period. For comparison, piglets will be fed corresponding basal diets without application of the different blends or with Addition of zinc oxide at the therapeutic dose 3,000 ppm during the starter period.
