Abstract

Four hundred and twenty pigs (initially 9.8 lb and 13 d of age) were used to evaluate the effects of increasing zinc oxide in starter diets. Results that suggest 3,000 ppm and 2,000 ppm zinc, from zinc oxide, improve growth performance in phase I and II diets, respectively.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 16, 1995
