Popis:	In order to evaluate the effects of a dietary supplementation with biotin on heavy pigs productive performances (including meat and cured hams quality), forty-five Landrace x Large White barrows, with an initial average body weight (BW) of 35 kg, were allocated to three experimental groups: a control group (A) fed a maize/soybean diet and two treatment-groups (B and C) receiving the same diet as group A but with the addition of crystalline biotin at 150 and 300 ppb, respectively. Pigs were fed at the rate of 9% of their metabolic BW (BW0.75) up to a maximum of 3.2 kg per pig per day. Pigs were slaughtered at about 160 kg BW. Animals on biotin diets showed a higher (P
