Partial replacement of dried whey with dried
hydrolysate of pig intestines resulted in a delayed positive
growth performance response in three experiments. In weeks
three and four, average daily gain and average daily feed
intake were increased an average of 23.9 and 17.6%,
respectively, by feeding intestinal hydrolysate in weeks one
and two. The active component(s) in the product may speed
the maturation of the pig’s ability to digest and/or
assimilate nutrients.
