Abstract
Diets containing deoxynivalenol (DON) prepared from Fusarium inoculated corn and Luprosil® NC, a propionate-based feed preservative, were offered to 34-kg barrows for 7 wk. The preservative improved overall performance of pigs fed the control or DON-containing diets, but did not appear to specifically reduce the adverse effects of DON. Key words: Deoxynivalenol, pigs, feed preservative, propionate, Fusarium graminearumKeywords
