Effect of feeding fumaric or citric acid on weanling pig performance and selected intestinal digesta measurements at varying times postweaning
Five studies were conducted to elucidate a possible mode of action of dietary organic acids in weanling pigs (n=536). The effect of feeding 1.5% fumaric or citric acid on growth performance, intestinal digesta pH, chloride ion concentration (Cl-), VFA profile and microflora populations was studied....
