Abstract

The present experiment was conducted to study the growth performances of weanling piglets following supplementation of phytase for a period of 4 months. A total of ten  numbers of  crossbred piglets (Hampshire X Meghalaya local), aged 60 days, maintained under standard feeding and managemental condition were randomly divided into two groups viz. Group A and  B allocating  5 (n=5)  piglets comprising 3 males and 2 females in each group. Group A was considered as control and Group B was supplemented with 500FTU of phytase. The higher BWG (P<0.01) and average daily body weight gain (ADG) were recorded in group B (50.00 ± 0.548; 0.399± 0.047). The better Feed Conversion Efficiency (FCE) was recorded in B (3.046 ± 0.036) than that of group A (3.498 ± 0.094).
