Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of acetic, propionic, and formic (50%) organic acids and mannanoligosaccharide (50%) on growth performance, digestibility, and faecal score in challenged weaned piglets. Twenty male piglets (5.57 ± 0.32 kg of BW; 21-24 days of age) were housed individually in metabolic cages for 28 days in an acclimatised room. The treatments were composed of the inclusion (0.1%; n = 10) or not (n = 10) of additive in the diet. The experimental design was completely randomised with two t… Show more

“…Regarding the DWG, the best results were observed for the treatments that received the additives during the initial phase II (0.589 and 0.540 versus 0.463 g for T2, T3 and T1, respectively), but these gains were not sufficient to improve the DWG considering the full evaluation period. Our findings were compared with those of Vieira et al (2017), who worked with a mixture of acetic, propionic and formic organic acids (50%) associated with mannan oligosaccharide (50%) for piglets and only found a better DWG during the third and fourth weeks after weaning for this treatment compared with a control diet. Our findings were similar to those observed by Luna et al (2015), who evaluated the performance of piglets during the nursery phase and found no advantages for piglets fed diets with mannan oligosaccharides + beta-glucans compared with piglets that received colistin.…”
