The main aim of this study was to assess the effect of the
micronization process applied on cereals and legumes, as feed components, on
the efficiency of feed conversion, digestibility, and daily gain of weaned piglets.
The results showed that the digestibility of the investigated micronized maize
and wheat flakes was higher than that of the respective raw grains. The
digestibility of the feed mixture prepared with micronized cereals and legumes
was higher (84.74%) than that of the commercial feed mixture (80.27%). The feed
mixture prepared with micronized cereals and legumes manifested beneficial
effects on weaned piglets' daily gain, feed conversion, and digestibility in the
feeding trial.
