“Halas Jožef”, Ada. Research was carried out on the
private pig farm in the same company. Obtained
results showed that in the isoenergy and the isonitrogen mixtures
containing 22% crude protein. Introduction of investigated extruded

litter mass of suckling piglets at weaning and lower feed consumption by
average 10.94% during creep feeding of piglets, during the lactation
period. During weaning period,
