Adding dietary fibres to weaned piglets’ diet may reduce the incidence of post weaning diarrhoea. However, as dietary fibre may impair nutrient and energy digestibility, this may result in reduced performance.

It was hypothesised, that the inclusion of enzyme treated soy fibre may reduce performance, while increasing the production of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) in the hindgut of weaned piglets, as it contains both soluble and insoluble fibre fractions.
