“…The finding that dietary supplementation with 3% MCT increases the feed utilization efficiency of weanling pigs aligns with our previous findings (Lai et al 2008) and the findings when lower levels of MCT were fed to weanling pigs (Dierick et al 2002b) and broilers (Chiang et al 1990). Dierick et al (2002b) found that dietary supplementation with 2.5% MCT improved weight gain and feed utilization efficiency of weanling pigs.…”

“…The bactericidal effect of MCFA has been documented for decades (Nieman 1954). Recently, we have found dietary supplementation with MCT inhibited intestinal microbial count and improved the feed utilization efficiency of young pigs (Lai et al 2008). Similarly, other researchers found that dietary supplementation with MCT inhibited intestinal microbial count (Dierick et al 2002a,b) and improved the growth performance (Dierick et al 2002b;Hong et al 2012) of weanling pigs.…”
