The combination of spray dried plasma and reduced crude protein in diets decreases circulating cytokines of weanling pigs

Abstract

During the initial 2 week post-wean, dietary approaches may be implemented to alleviate effects of weaning stress on pigs. Inclusion of Spray Dried Plasma (SDP) in the diet may improve diet palatability, increase amino acid digestibility, and mitigate intestinal inflammation, resulting in improved growth performance of pigs
