Evaluation of the VIUSID Vet (Powder and Solution) Nutritional Supplement in Growing-Finishing Pigs

The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of the VIUSID Vet (powder and solution) nutritional supplement on the productive performance of growing-finishing pigs. Two experiments were conducted, each using 210 pigs at an average age of 40 d—70 per treatment—which were distributed into 15 pens (five per group). The experiments lasted 170 d. The treatments consisted in: Experiment 1, Group I control group; Group II received from the start 1.5 g of VIUSID Vet powder per kilogram of feed daily for 90 d; Group III same as the former, but instead given 2.0 g. Experiment 2, Group I control; Group II received from the start 1.5 g of VIUSID Vet powder per kilogram of feed daily for 90 d; Group III same as the former, but instead given 1.5 mL of VIUSID Vet solution per kilogram of feed. VIUSID Vet (powder or solution) significantly improved weight gain and feed conversion as well as reduced deaths when given doses of 2.0 g and 1.5 g or 1.5 mL per kilogram of feed during the first 90 d of the growing-finishing phase, giving rise to financial benefits.
