Abstract
Pigs which were allowed to nurse their mother for 48 hours have been successfully raised on a synthetic milk diet through the suckling period. The growth over an 8 week experimental period was normal and no deficiency symptoms were observed. The urinary excretion of B-vitamins was determined and results indicate that the pigs were receiving adequate amounts of these vitamins. In view of the above findings it is assumed that the diet presented is adequate for growing baby pigs.Keywords
