liquid feeding is often used in swine production because liquid feeding systems allow for the inclusion of a variety of alternative feed ingredients and by-products in the diets (Scholten et al., 1999). Liquid feeding may also improve the intestinal health of pigs (Deprez et al.,1987). and performance of pigs fed diets in a liquid form is often improved compared with pigs fed dry diets (Hurst et al.,2008)
