Dr. Jamil Faccin: Carnitine in Finishing Pigs | Ep. 47 The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast

    • Science

Even though carnitine is more often used when feeding sows, it can also be helpful in enabling the pig to become more efficient with its energy utilization. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Jamil Faccin about a study that he performed by feeding carnitine to pigs in the finishing phase, at different time points, to see how it affected their growth performance and carcass characteristics.
