Summary

1. Two experiments were conducted, one with pigs fed individually on a restricted scale of feeding, and one with pigs fed ad libitum in groups, to test Probioticum as a feed additive with and without nitrovin and zinc bacitracin.

2. Growth rate, feed conversion, killing-out percentage and carcass quality were measured.

3. No significant difference was shown in any of the characteristics measured between diets containing any of the additives, singly or in combination.
