ABSTRACT:
A feed composition containing L-carnitine and a high nutrient density diet is found to increase the lean-to-fat ratio of early weaned pigs. The L-carnitine is preferably reduced as the animal passes through its various stages of development, with initial concentrations ranging from 5 to 5000 ppm. In the finishing stage, less than 5 ppm of L-carnitine may advantageously be incorporated in the diet.
