ABSTRACT



The chemical composition of halloysite - aluminosilicate from Polish deposits and its applicability as feed supplement was investigated. Halloysite was introduced to diet in the amount of 1 and 2%. Its effect on microbiological quality of feeds in the period of storage and utilization of nutrients by growing-finishing pigs was studied. The obtained results showed that halloysite supplemented in the amount of 2% resulted in reduction of bacteria and aflatoxin B1. It did not influenced fungi counts. Fatteners fed with diet containing this aluminosilicate, caused significantly better utilization of protein, fat, fiber and mineral components, such as calcium, magnesium, zinc and copper in comparing of control group.

Key words: blood, faeces, feed, growing-finishing pigs, halloysite, nutrients.
