Project summary
Consumers are growing increasingly concerned about the use of in-feed antimicrobials in meat production industries. This project aimed to explore a cost-effective alternative to antimicrobial additives like zinc oxide (ZnO), without compromising the health and growth of post-weaning piglets.
Value for producers:
- Increased piglet health and growth
- Reduces industry reliance on antimicrobial additives like ZnO
