Abstract
AbstractWeaned pigs were fed diets with added Jerusalem artichoke for 28 days. In a first trial, the pigs received raw tubers in addition to their normal ration. In a second trial, the pigs received dried Jerusalem artichoke (10â60 g kgâ1) in the diet. Pigs eating the raw tuber had significantly increased body weight gains due to the consumption of the raw tuber, but significantly decreased feed efficiency. Adding dried Jerusalem artichoke to the diet significantly increased weight gains. Feed efficiency was improved, but not significantly. Faecal valeric acid concentration was significantly increased in animals eating Jerusalem artichoke.
