The influence of pro-prebiotic Biomin IMBO on fodder consumption and nutrient digestibility by weaning pigs

Abstract

The aim of the trial was to determine the influence of the optimum level of Biomin IMBO introduced into the mixed fodder for the young breeding pigs on fodder consumption and nutrient digestibility. According to the target of the scientific experiment four groups of piglets were selected. The trial was carried out at the enterprise for pig breeding “Moldsuinhibrid”. The obtained results showed that the introduction of probiotic Biomin IMBO into the fodder for pigs in quantities of 0.5 - 2.0 kg/t did not significantly influence the weight gain. At the same time, it was revealed a tendency for fodder consumption unit to decrease. The survey experiment demonstrated that under the influence of probiotic Biomin IMBO the digestibility of some nutrients in the young pigs in groups LE2 and LE3, which were administered the preparation in quantities of 1.5 - 2.0 kg/t, improved.
