Abstract
Experiments were performed with two-day-old baby pigs to observe the effect of supplementing various purified starch-containing diets with amylolytic enzymes. Supplemental pancreatic and malt amylases had no effect on growth rate, survival time, or digestibility of raw or cooked starch. Cooked starch appeared to be inferior to raw starch as a source of carbohydrate in baby pig diets. Copyright © . .This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
