During the breeding period, adding the fermentation product (lactobacillus acidophilus) to the ration fed to gilts and sows made no difference in conception percentages. Nonsignificant differences was observed between the control group and the group receiving the additive in number of pigs born dead or alive and weight of pigs at 2 or 4 weeks of age.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, October 7, 1971
