Abstract

Lactose and sucrose were reported by Hudman (1956) to be preferred carbohydrates for pig starter rations. Lactose gave the best growth response when fed with soybean oil meal; sucrose with milk protein. From the analysis listed by Morrison (1956), both dried skim milk and dried whey must be considered as a source of lactose since, on an average, these products contain 51.1 and 70.1% lactose, respectively. In addition, both contain a high quality protein.
