Popis: This study has been conducted to investigate the effect of vegetable unsaturated fatty acid complex on growth performance and uniformity to weaning piglets. The numbers of animal experimented were 110 Landrace sows and 248 piglets in normal breeding farms. As a treatment, long-chain fatty acid complex had fed from entering maternity barn to weaning for 4 weeks in sow experiment. In piglet experiment, liquid medium-chain fatty acid complex had fed to mouth two times during lactation period. In sow experiment, there were no difference between treatment and control in the number born alive per litter and the litter-weight at birth, but the treatment was significantly higher than the control in the litter weight at weaning and feed intake of sow (P
