Potassium diformate (FORMI) and 3rd generation acidifiers in antibiotic-free feeding - impacts in sows and piglets

Abstract

With costs of pig production under increasing pressure, the nutrition of young pigs is of increasing interest, as this period is critical to the subsequent performance of the animals through to market. Optimising growth rate and feed efficiency at this time are key requirements for success in today's animal production systems.
