This paper discusses the\u00a0impacts of implementing graded chicory root powder into a pig diet and how it effects fecal odour, productive growth, and nutrient digestibility. Six diets\u00a0of soybeans and corn were given one of\u00a0six doses of chicory root powder ranging from 0-1%. The root powder at 0.2% was found to reduce H2S in the fecal matter by 40%, while higher levels of the root powder had no effect on\u00a0fecel matter\u00a0content.\u00a0The implementation of the\u00a0root powder resulted in\u00a0imporved\u00a0average daily gain but had a negitive\u00a0effect on digestibility. The chicory root had improved efficiency of P\u00a0retention.\u00a0The use of chicory root in a diet at levels of 0.2%\u00a0may\u00a0be beneficial\u00a0for reducing\u00a0\u00a0fecal excretion of volatile sulfides and improve efficiency of dietary calcium and phosphorus utilization without adversely affecting growth performance and efficiency of whole body nitrogen utilization in weanling pigs fed corn and soybean meal-based diets. However levels higher than 0.2% can have negative impacts on growth performance and efficiency of dietary nutrient utilization without decreasing fecal excretion of volatile sulfides in weanling pigs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
