Abstract
In this work, 51 pups of pigs from the crossing between Yorkshire and YL females were studied, forming 2 experimental groups of 3 litters each. Its objective is to assess the effect of acetic acid at 5% in the prevention of diarrhea caused by Colibacilosis, and the productive behavior of pigs at weaning. Weaning weight, average daily gain and incidence of diarrhea, as well as mortality and morbidity in this category were evaluated; obtaining as a result that the use of 5% acetic acid improves the weight indicators at weaning and daily mean gain (DMG), and also decreases the incidence of diarrhea, mortality and morbidity in the piglets compared to the control group. The administration of acetic acid contributes to improve the animal’s productive performance.
