Shipp fed two diets in the nursery. One was a standard nursery diet and the other was a diet formulated with NuPro.
Dr. Shipp monitored the pigs through the grow finish phase and specifically measured feed conversion, average daily gain, feed cost per pig and feed efficiency in both groups.
At 1 p.m. CDT on May 28th, Cape Fear Consulting will tell us their findings from this trial.
