Effects of Glucocorticoids and Limited Nursing on the Digestive Enzyme Ontogeny and Growth of Nursing Piglets (Maltase, Sucrase, Lactase, Amylase, Acth)
Abstract
dc:descriptionTen experiments were conducted to evaluate the inductive capacity of exogenous hydrocortisone (HYD) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) on the developing carbohydrate digestive enzymes and growth rate of nursing piglets. The response of these enzymes to increased creep feed consumption, produced by partial weaning, was also investigated. A total of 87 litters of piglets were used.
