Abstract

Two separate experiments using 50 3-week-weaned piglets were conducted to determine the effects of Effective Microorganisms (EM) and Zeolite on production performance and feed digestibility. Results showed that supplemented of EM in drinking water at 1%, supplemented of EM (in form of fermented compost or Bokashi) in feed at 1%, supplemented of EM both in drinking water at 1% and in feed at 1% and supplemented of Zeolite in feed at 3% had no significant effect on average daily gain, feed conversion, feed digestibility and protein digestibility of weaner pigs. Further study be done to find the best way for early weaned pig rearing.
