Extract

The inclusion of fibrous ingredients in diets for weaned piglets has been reported to enhance health but also to reduce voluntary intake and performance. This experiment was designed to investigate the effects of inclusion of a highly digestible fibre source by including different levels of molassed or unmolassed sugar beet pulp (SBP) in the diet of piglets weaned at 25 days of age.
