Abstract:

Overall ADG and ADFI were not affected, but feed efficiency was improved with pelleting and further improvements resulted from expander processing. In a second experiment, enzyme supplementation to mash, but not pelleted, diets improved feed efficiency. Indeed, F/G for pigs fed mash with enzyme was similar to that for pigs fed pelleted diets.
