Eighty-four weaned piglets were used to determine the effects of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT; predominately C8 to C10) and coconut oil in diet of weaner pigs on the incidence of post-weaning diarrhoea and production indices. To this effect, seven treatments were used: (i) Negative control diet (no antimicrobials), (ii) Positive control diet (antibiotic + ZnO), (iii) 0.625% MCT diet, (iv) 1.25% MCT diet, (v) 2.5% MCT diet, (vi) 5% MCT diet and (vii) a diet with coconut oil at 5%, according to a randomised complete block arrangement of treatments. There were 12 replicates per treatment. Pigs were housed individually in wire-mesh floored cages, in an environmentally controlled room and fed the experimental diets for 14 days, and then a fol...
