title: Influence of different diets on growth performance, meat quality, and disease resistance in pig crossbreeds (PIE x MC-local) and PIE (LW x MC-local).
abstract: The present study evaluated the effect of different dietary formulations on the growth rate in pigs and their resistance to infection with hog cholera. Results indicate that growth rates can be enhanced by certain formulations and that there is a correlation between this increased growth rate and increased resistance to infection with hog cholera.
