However, we observed no advantages in ADG or F/G with long-term conditioning. In a second experiment, pelleting once again improved nutrient digestibility and F/G. Expander conditioning improved digestibilities of DM, N, and GE but not growth performance compared to standard conditioning.SwineNursery pigsPelletingExpander conditioningEffects of conditioners (standard, long term, and expander) on pellet quality and growth performance in nursery pigsConference paper
