Dietary inclusion of fibrous corn silages reduces gastric mucosa damage in fattening heavy pigs
The dietary inclusion of corn silages (30% of diet DM) decrease effectivelly the severity of stomach damage in finishing heavy pigs. Based on the feeding trial performances, the perspective of feeding heavy pigs corn silage should consider specific agronomic and harvesting techniques to improve digestibility and not reduce the growth rate.
