Effect of different cereals on intestinal villous morphology in weaned piglets
Twenty piglets weaned (WP) at 20.4 d were slaughtered 15 d post-weaning to evaluate the effect of four cereals on intestinal villous morphology. Treatments were a control diet (CD) containing corn starch, and four experimental diets with oats, corn or one of two sorghum hybrids used instead of corn starch. Four suckling piglets (SP) were slaughtered at weaning as a control group. Small intestine weight (absolute (g) or relative (g/kg)) was higher (P0.05) between the WP fed the experimental diets. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in duodenal villus height between SP (352 mµ) and WP (342 mµ). Jejunal villi were shorter (P
