New! GFMT article: Fine grinding and BS3 Xylanase improve productivity in weaners

The fourth article from the new issue of GFMT is online now. Check it out in full here.

Dorthe K Rasmussen, Marie Lybye Andersson, and Lisbeth Jørgensen of the Pig Research Centre, Denmark, take take us through fine grinding and BS3 Xylanase in pig feed.

In the Danish pig production industry, carbohydrate-splitting enzymes, primarily xylanase, are often added to pig feed to improve gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Several trial activities have investigated various enzyme products for pigs – nationally as well as internationally - all with highly varying outcome. Danish trials with finishers revealed effects on FCR ranging from 0 – 3 percent when xylanase is added to the feed. Lately, most trial activities have focused on the effect of xylanase on finisher production, whereas in Denmark in recent years no investigations have focused on the effect of xylanase on weaners.
