Abstract:In a total digestibility trial, 24 pigs were distributed into 6 groups and 4 replicates according to a factorial design 3 x 2. Three levels (2.5, 4.5 and 6.5 p. 100) of crude fibre (wheat bran) were combined to the absence or presence of whey at a level of 30 p. 100 of dietary DM. The same combination was studied for ileal digestibility in six pigs fitted with an ileo-rectal anastomosis, using a latin square design. The apparent digestibility coefficients (aDC) of all dietary nutrients were significantly reduc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
