94 Feeding a Multi-Carbohydrase (Rovabio Advance) Improves the Morbidity of Wean-to-Finish Pigs

Abstract The objective was to determine the effects of multi-carbohydrase Rovabio Advance on growth performance, mortality, and morbidity wean finish pigs. In trial, 1,260 DNA weanling barrows were fed from 5.9 kg 133 live weight. Four diets fed: positive control (PC), low nutrient density (LNDC), PC with (PC+), LNDC (LNDC+). compared contained 41 Kcal/kg less NE 0.012% SID lysine. Positive 1.3% more added fat than LNDC. During each phase, all equal amounts wheat middlings corn DDGS, beginning at 3.75% increasing 15% each. Each pen had 21 pigs 15 pens per dietary treatment. Pigs feed measured throughout phases, as number weight dead (mortality) other pig removals (morbidity). Ten harvested 150 d balance 164 feed. vs greater ADG G:F final (P < 0.01). Feeding reduced removed test by nearly 40% (8.1 4.9%, 0.03)). Standard deviation within hot carcass tended 0.22) be feeding 0.03) PC. Pig value unit improved 0.14) conclusion, weaning (5.9 kg) (133 decreases morbidity.
