Abstract
Vitamins provide defense against diseases, promote growth and reproduction, and contribute to the general health of the body. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the performance of growing-finishing pigs as affected by feed vitamin/mineral supplementation. This was conducted from August 10 to November 10, 2011 at the Piggery Project of Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, La Union. A total of 12 piglets were distributed into two treatments employing the T-test with three replications.
Results of the study showed no significant difference on the performance of piglets supplemented with vitamin/minerals in terms of final weight, gain in weight, average daily gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and profit above feed, vitamin/mineral supplement and stock cost.
