Influence of Dietary Fiber on the Development of the Gastrointestinal Tract and the Performance of Gilts

Influence of Dietary Fiber on the Development of the Gastrointestinal Tract and the Performance of Gilts

Optimal intestinal development in gilts is a prerequisite for a better farrowing and a higher feed intake in lactation, and these are important facets in improving animal welfare for sows in a high-performance situation. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of a fiber-rich diet on these t...
