An experiment was carried out to evaluate high dietary levels of organic and inorganic Cu, respectively, cupric citrate (C6H4Cu2O7 ) and Cu sulfate (CuSO4.5H2O) as growth promoters of weanling pigs fed complex diet. Eighty crossbred weanling pigs (40 castrated males and 40 females), averaging 6.85 kg initial weight and 21 ± 2 days of age, were assigned to five treatments. The treatments consisted in a basal diet (control) of corn, soybean meal, lactose, dried skim milk and spray dried porcine […]
