Description
Zuo and colleagues fed growing pigs a liquid diet made from mixed grains and meals instead of the usual corn and soybean meal, in 2026 animal nutrition research. The aim was easing pressure on high-quality feed supplies without losing growth. The trial ran 28 days with 180 pigs starting at 72 days old and about 26.84 kilograms each, split across five feeding groups with six pens of six pigs per group.
Groups received the standard diet dry, the mixed-grain diet dry or liquid, or the mixed-grain diet with added enzymes in dry or liquid form. Pigs on the liquid enzyme diet gained more weight per day and converted feed into growth more efficiently than pigs on the standard dry diet. The authors mark that difference as statistically significant. Gut health measures were also tracked. Zuo presents liquid feeding with enzymes as a workable substitute formula.
