Materials and Methods
The experiment was carried out from January to April 2010.
There were 10 litters available for both the experimental and the
control group. From the 10th to the 37th day of life, the piglets were
given a pre-starter. From the 38th to the 74th day of life they were
fed a piglet feed (see Table 1). In the case of the experimental
group, 0.2% Biolex® MB40 was added to both the pre-starter and
the piglet-feed. The piglets were weaned on the 28th day of life.
