Removing vitamin and trace mineral premixes from finisher diets (154 to 247 lb) did not affect growth performance, carcass characteristics, or meat quality

Kim, I.H.; Lee, J.H.; Park, J.S.; Kropf, Donald H.; Johnston, S.L.; Sorrell, P.; Hines, Robert H.; Hancock, Joe D.
Average daily gain; ADFI; F/G; dressing

percentage; tenth rib fat thickness and depth; and color, firmness, and marbling of the longissimus muscle were not influenced by

omitting the vitamin and(or) trace mineral

premixes from diets during finishing (154 to

247 lb). Thus, omitting vitamin and trace

mineral premixes can decrease diet costs without decreasing performance or meat quality of high-lean pigs.
