Abstract
Literatures show that bathing combats the undesirable influence of temperature to swine. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the effect of bathing to the performance of weaners. This was conducted at the Piggery Project of the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, La Union from September 21, 2006 - November 21, 2006.
Twenty one-month old piglets were randomly distributed into two treatments
replicated ten times. Data gathered were analyzed using the t-test.
Results revealed comparable performance of weaners in terms of final weight, gain in weight and feed consumption. However, feed conversion efficiency and profit above feed, medicine and stock cost were significantly affected by bathing.
