Pen & Field Trials for Hogs

The benefits of Hemicell® have been confirmed in many trials. Table 1 shows results from tests in grow/finish feeds. In two hog pen trials shown in Table 2, carcass characteristics were measured and Hemicell®'s use led to higher lean gain. Table 3 illustrates the positive impact of Hemicell® on gain and feed conversion when added to nursery feeds.
