Influence of copper source and dietary inclusion level on growth performance of weaned pigs and expression of trace element related genes in the small intestine
Copper is routinely supplemented to weanling pig diets at concentrations above nutritional requirements to enhance growth performance. We hypothesised that this effect depends on the source of Cu and its dietary concentration. We tested this in weaned pigs (26 d of age) over a 35-d period using a 2 ...
