DOIAbstract
The experiment was carried out to determine the effect of yoghurt waste on intestinal morphology and growth performance of pigs weaned at 7 weeks of age. A total of 20 weaned pigs (15.6 ± 2kg, initial body weight {BW}) were randomly assigned in groups of four, to 5 experimental treatments in a randomized block design. Pigs were fed one of five diets for 28d. Treatment 1 (T1) was a standard weaner diet containing 28% soybean meal (SBM) and 2369 Kcal/kg net energy (NE), 19.25% crude protein (CP), 0.98% standardized ileal digestible (SID) lysine (Lys), 0.91% calcium (Ca) and 0.6% phosphorus (P). Treatment 2 (T2) to T5 contained 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% yoghurt waste (89% dry matter {DM}) at the expense of SBM resulting in a total dietary lactose co...
