Abstract

Spray-dried plasma can advantageously replace whey on a protein basis in Phase I diets for early-weaned pigs, although less so in a ‘clean’ than in a ‘dirty’ environment. Contrary to previous trials, growth performance of weanling pigs was not affected when dried porcine solubles replaced whey protein.
