Table 2 shows the effects of complex probiotic on
growth performance in growing pigs. During d 0 to 21, no
effects were observed in ADG, ADFI and gain/feed with the
addition of complex probiotic (p>0.05). Pigs fed diets
supplemented with complex probiotic during d 21-42
tended to have higher ADG than pigs fed control diet,
however, there were no significant differences (p>0.05).
During the overall experiment, ADG in CP2 treatment was
higher (p0.05) by the addition of
different level of complex probiotic.
Supplementation of probiotics has been reported to
improve growth performance in both nursery and growingfinishing
pigs by many authors. However, there are still
several variable results obtained by other researchers. Jeon
et al. (1996) suggested that body weight gain and gain/feed
were significantly improved by the addition of probiotics in
