In a study testing the company’s zinc removal concepts, conducted at their commercial trial site, pigs receiving no added zinc oxide in the feed consumed 16% more feed/day and grew an average of 12% more per day than those pigs supplemented with zinc oxide in the first 14 days post-weaning. The significantly improved growth and feed intake in the pigs fed no zinc continued throughout the grower phase, which resulted in them ending the trial over 3.5kg heavier at 63 days post-weaning than those pigs receiving zinc.
