title: [The effect of oligosaccharides on piglets].
abstract: Into the starter of weaned piglets 1% lactitol and 0.2% fructo-, isomalto- or galacto-oligosaccharides were added. After an adaptation period of two weeks the piglets were slaughtered 3 hours postprandial. Compared with control animals in the trial groups urea concentrations in the serum and fermentations in the stomach were lowered, stomach emptying rates increased. Higher volumes and contents were measured in the colon, especially in the upper half, and more lactic acid.
