Abstract:
Two experiments were conducted using 415 weanling pigs (175 in Exp. 1, 240 in Exp. 2) to determine the influence of dietary
niacin inclusion on starter pig performance.
Pigs were fed a control diet with no added
niacin or the control diet with 25, 50, 75 or
100 g/ton of added niacin. From d 0 to 8,
increasing dietary niacin increased ADG and
ADFI up to 50 g/ton of added niacin. Overall,
pigs fed increasing levels of niacin tended to have improved ADG. These results suggest feeding 50 g/ton of added dietary niacin to complex nursery pig diets to improve growth performance.
