Summary: | The effects of prebiotic Bio Mos (0.2%) used in nutrition of gestating and sows in lactation, as well as Bio Mos (0.5%) and fructooligosaccharides (0.4%) used in nutrition of suckling piglets were investigated. Obtained results showed that the introduction of additives in mixtures influenced: greater food intake of sows in lactation by 13.75 %, by 14.7% more born piglets and by 3.6% heavier piglets at birth, greater litter weight by 3.1 % at weaning and better intake of pre-starter by 6.7% per litter during lactation. In general, obtained results showed that the use of investigated prebiotic Bio Mos and fructooligosaccharides are recommended for use in nutrition of sows and suckling piglets. |
