Acidification of weaner pig diets: A review
Abstract
The potential of diet acidification to overcome the digestive insufficiency and postweaning lag in early weaned pigs is examined in the review. A survey of published data on various types of acidifiers reveal considerable variation in response to acidification of weaner diets. Several reasons may be proposed to explain the inconsistencies in response, these include differences in diet type, age of pigs, type and level of acidifier, and existing performance levels. Reducing the gastric pH does not appear to be the primary effect of acidifiers. Acidification, however, consistently suppressed pathogenic coliforms in the gastrointestinal tract. Future developments in the use of acidifiers would be intrinsically linked to the understanding of their mode(s) of action in the animal.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
