The effect of conjugated linoleic acid on the growth of weaned piglets
The effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on growth parameters of sixteen piglets, divided into two groups was studied. The experiment started when the piglets were 29 days old. Prior the age of 39 days animals were fed restrictively on the same amount of feed, independent of the weight of ani...

| description | The effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on growth parameters of sixteen piglets, divided
into two groups was studied. The experiment started when the piglets were 29 days old. Prior the
age of 39 days animals were fed restrictively on the same amount of feed, independent of the
weight of animal. During the next period of the experiment, between ages of 40 and 75 days, the
animals were fed individually, with 1.8 times of maintenance energy. Animals were weighed
every week. The experimental group was fed extra with supplement of 1.5% of 80% CLA. The
same amount of sunflower oil was used in the control group. During the last period of the
experiment, between ages of 76 and 123 days, animals were fed ad libitum with feed without any
CLA or sunflower supplement. CLA decreased average feed consumption and weight of the
animals. All observed differences were found in the third or last period of the experiment, after
the administration of CLA or sunflower oil was finished. |
