Abstract
Several factors are likely to influence voluntary feed intake in pre weaning and post weaning piglets.
including preweaning environment, age at weaning, creep feeding and health status etc. Various
nutritional approaches for optimizing the weaning transition and minimizing enteric diseases have
been tested in the past decade. Various organic acids are used to increase the feed intake in pre
weanling and post weanling piglets. Organic acids normally used as an acidifies in animal feeds
have been considered to be alternatives for improving nutrient digestibility and growth performance
of weanling pigs (Fiisley et al., 1992). Hence an experiment was undertaken to study the impact
of lactic acid supplementation in creeper diet on growth performance of pre weanling piglets.
