Research shows whey permeate can significantly improve growth performance of nursery pigs
ADPI supported the recent research through its Permeate Task Force.
The American Dairy Products Institute (ADPI) announced the availability of four documents summarizing recent research on the use of permeate in pig feed. Elmhurst, Ill.-based ADPI supported this research through its Permeate Task Force.
The objectives of the research studies were to evaluate lactose level impacts on the intestinal health of the piglets, as well as nursery pig performance at varying body weights and weaning ages. A total of 5,112 pigs were evaluated in a series of studies focused on the benefits of adding whey permeate in the diets of piglets, ADPI said.
