Flaking is widely used by the feed industry since it is considered to improve the digestibility and palatability of cereals for young pigs. Pelleting is believed to give similar benefits plus a reduction in feed wastage and improved voluntary intake. However, the scientific literature lacks consenssus on this subject and provides no clear indication whether the response to feed processing is influenced by the type of cereal used. This experiment examined the effects of flaking, cereal type and diet pelleting on the voluntary intake and performance of early weaned piglets.
