However, nutrient intake is largely determined by voluntary feed intake, which is greatly influenced by the chemical senses of olfaction and taste. Thus, it is essential to make sure that diets being offered to pigs are highly palatable to ensure high feed intake. This is especially important during times when pigs have decreased appetite, such as the first few days post weaning. Therefore, it is believed that enhancement of taste or smell through the use of flavors may help to improve the palatability of diets and, consequently, feed intake.en-USPermission to archive granted by Karen Richardson, Publications Manager, American Association of Swine Veterinarians, April 14, 2011SwineFeed additivesMold inhibitorsMycotoxin bindersAntioxidantsArticle (publisher version)
