Influence of prebiotics in pigs nutrition on body weight and content of Escherichia coli in feces

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of prebiotics in the diet of piglets after weaning on the increase in the average weight of experimental animals between female (♀) and male (♂) piglets, dynamically by weeks of experiment, as well as on the presence of Escherichia coli in feces. The...
