Newborn pigs with swollen vulva – ZEA can be transferred through placenta; affects young animals health, survival and longevity. Another risk of sow and cow in reproduction. * Key point here is that the digestibility is in progressive mode, that means it takes a week to show the accumulative effects. When we compare at d-18; you can see 6 % difference for all levels of ZEA even though average of protein digestibility was different between 1, 2, 3 ppm ZEA. If you go back to previous slide, we see 2% decrease on CP on average basis; but at the end of feeding 18-d, it was actually 6% reduction.
