Video: Does manganese supplementation improve swine performance? - Dr. Clint Edmunds
Manganese is an essential nutrient in pig diets. First, because it plays a crucial role in various physiological and biochemical processes, such as bone development in piglets. Second, because it has antioxidant properties, since enzymes help minimize the production of reactive oxygen species and the synthesis of a precursor to cholesterol, for instance. In this episode, Dr. Clint Edmunds discusses a study that involved supplementing sow feed with manganese and analyzing its effects on sows and their litter performance
