Effects of Different Corn Particle Sizes on Growth Performance for Weanling Pigs
When diets are formulated to contain the same amount of metabolisable energy, feeding diets containing maize ground to different sizes to weaners had no effect on their growth rate or feed intake but there was a significant effect on the pH in the large intestine, according to researchers at the Hans H. Stein Monogastric Nutrition Laboratory at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
