Saccharin and Dried Cane Molasses in Swine Rations

Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station^,2

Abstract

The value of saccharin and dried cane molasses in swine rations was investigated.

When added to a practical mixed ration for the weanling pig, saccharin at a rate of 0.03 or 0.10 percent or dried cane molasses fed at a rate of 7.2 percent failed to exert a significant effect on feed consumption, rate of gain, or feed efficiency.

The addition of 0.1 percent saccharin to ground or shelled corn which was self-fed, free choice, with a supplement, also failed to affect performance. In a palatability trial, however, pigs showed a preference for shelled corn treated with 0.05 percent saccharin during the first half of a 55-day feeding period. No marked preference was noted during the latter half of the study.
