What is Benefits of Dried Whey in Pig Diets about?

Dried whey is a valuable ingredient for pig starter diets. It is high in lactose and provides excellent amino acid profiles. Studies showed adding 10-25% dried whey to corn-soy diets improved average daily gain by 12%, feed intake by 12%, and feed efficiency by 1.5% for over 1,000 weanling pigs. The growth benefits are likely due to the high lactose content in whey, which stimulates appetite. Including dried whey in starter diets provides good economic returns compared to the additional costs.
