Popis: Starch is of major importance to the young piglet, since by weight it constitutes the largest portion of the diet and is the major energy-yielding component. Usually provided in the form of cereals, the digestibility of starch is fundamental in contributing to the dietary energy requirements of the animal. Two trials were designed in order to examine the effect of variability between raw cereals on the digestibility of starch in the newly-weaned piglet.
