Abstract: RENIER, JUAN CARLO OFRASIO. Comparison of the effects of supplementing powdered activated charcoal, wood vinegar and their combination in the production efficiency of weaned piglets. Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2014. Adviser: Cherry R. Alvarez, DVM, MS. The study was conducted to determine the effects of supplementing powdered activated charcoal, wood vinegar and their combination in the production efficiency of weaned piglets based on average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), incidence of scouring and feed cost efficiency of the feed additive. A total of 60, 30 (±3) day old piglets were assigned randomly into four treatments. The control group was fed with basal diet, Treatment 1 with diet supplemented with 0.1 % powdered activated charcoal (PAC), Treatment 2 with 0.2% wood vinegar (WV) and Treatment 3 was supplemented with the 0.15% charcoal-vinegar combination (CVC). Each treatment was replicated thrice with five piglets each. Results showed that there are no significant differences in terms of the ADG and FCR among the treatment groups. Although the difference in ADG and FCR among experimental groups are not statistically significant, the group supplemented with PAC had the highest ADG and FCR compared to the control and the other treated groups. Although scouring was not totally prevented, fast recovery was observed in piglets given with PAC. Likewise, the percentage of scouring piglet was lower in the group supplemented with PAC and with CVC. Supplementation of PAC showed to be the most cost effective among treatment groups.

Although the difference in ADG and FCR among experimental groups are not statistically significant, the group supplemented with PAC had the highest ADG and FCR compared to the control and the other treated groups. Although scouring was not totally prevented, fast recovery was observed in piglets given with PAC.

Likewise, the percentage of scouring piglet was lower in the group supplemented with PAC and with CVC. Supplementation of PAC showed to be the most cost effective among treatment groups.
