Abstract
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplemental lysolecithin on fat digestibility and growth performance of pre-starter and starter pigs. The feeding trial was conducted using twelve four-week old pigs allotted to three dietary treatments following a Completely Randomized Design. The three dietary treatments, consisting of control (basal) diet, basal diet + 0.1% lysolecithin, and basal diet + 0.2% lysolecithin, were subjected to a digestibility trial. The apparent coefficient of digestibility (aCOD) of ether extract (EE) and gross energy (GE), and digestible energy (DE) of pre-starter pigs improved significantly with the addition of lysolecithin. However, there were no significant differences on growth performance of pre-starter pigs. The aCOD of dry matter (DM), EE and GE as well as DE and growth performance of starter pigs were not significantly different among treatments. The overall growth performance of young pigs were significantly better when fed diets with 0.1% lysolecithin.
