Grass hay mixed-in creep feed or separately-fed differentially affects digestive development in pre- and post-weaning piglets by Renjie Yao, Tetske G. Hulshof, Hubèrt M. J. van Hees, An Cools, Mattijs Merckx, Dominiek Maes, Geert P. J. Janssens

“…This study investigated the effect of grass hay offered to suckling piglets either separately or included in their creep feed, combined with nursery diets with or without grass pellet inclusion on growth performance and gastrointestinal development. Methods Thirty-six litters (14–15 piglets per litter) were divided into three equal groups of 12 litters per treatment during the suckling phase: control group (CON) received regular creep feed; GH group received chopped grass hay as-is in separate feeders alongside regular creep feed; PGH group received regular creep feed but barley and wheat were replaced by 28% grass pellets. …”
