This is the second in a series of peer-reviewed practice tip articles, each including two or three fact sheets on feed additives for swine.

Acidifiers (v17n5)

Anthelmintics (dewormers) (v17n6)

Antibiotics (v17n5)

Carbohydrate-degrading enzymes and proteases (v17n6)

Carcass modifiers (v17n6)

Flavors

  

High dietary levels of copper and zinc for growing pigs

Mold inhibitors, mycotoxin binders, and antioxidants

Phytase

Phytogenic feed additives (phytobiotics-botanicals)

Probiotics and prebiotics

The previous practice tip, published in the September-October issue of the Journal of Swine Health and Production, included fact sheets on acidifiers and antibiotics (J Swine Health Prod. 2009;17:270-275.)

Future fact-sheet topics will include flavors; high dietary levels of copper and zinc for growing pigs; mold inhibitors, mycotoxin binders, and antioxidants; phytase; phytogenic feed additives (phytobiotics-botanicals); and probiotics and prebiotics.
