Growth performance and total tract digestibility of nutrients for weanling pigs are improved by an exogenous xylanase and a stimbiotic regardless of maternal xylanase consumption
Pigs fed xylanase or stimbiotic had greater ATTD of GE and TDF, greater DE, and greater overall ADG, G:F, and final body weight on d 42 post-weaning than pigs fed the control diet, but feeding sows xylanase in lactation did not influence post-weaning growth performance.
