Diarrhea scores3) |
0 to 2 weeks | 1.20 | 1.32 | 1.26 | 1.29 | 0.055 | 0.571 | 0.555 |
3 to 5 weeks | 1.00 | 0.92 | 0.84 | 1.06 | 0.054 | 0.773 | 0.109 |
A total of 160 crossbred pigs were fed from average initial body weight 5.97 ± 1.527 kg.
NM, almost no milk by-products, 5% / 0%; LM, lower milk by-products, 10% / 5%; MM, middle milk by-products, 20% / 10%; HM, high milk by-products, 30% / 15%.
Diarrhea incidence: 0(no occurrence) to 4(all pigs diarrhea); Data were measured by average total diarrhea incidence during each phase.
