Spray-dried porcine plasma added to diets contaminated with aflatoxins and fumonisins show beneficial effects to piglet health

Abstract

This study was aimed to analyze the effects of spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) on the health of post weaning piglets challenged with diets contaminated with aflatoxins and fumonisins. Fifty-six male piglets (7.15 � 0.61 kg) were allocated in four groups: CTL group received a regular diet; SDPP group received a regular diet and 6% SDPP; MYC group received a diet containing 300 �g/kg aflatoxins and 8,000 �g/kg fumonisins; group MYC+SDPP received 300 �g/kg aflatoxins, 8,000 �g/kg fumonisins and 6% SDPP.
