The present study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary supplementation of YC on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, intestinal morphology, intestinal ecology, and immune function changes of nursery pigs compared
with an antibiotic growth promoter (AGP). The results this study indicated that supplementation of 5 g/kg of YC improves growth performance of pigs probably by improving villus height, gut immune response, and nutrient digestibility. The results of the study also suggest that YC could be an alternative to AGP in diets for the weaning pigs.
