According to a team of experts from UP at Los Baños, adding ascorbic acid or Vitamin C to the diet of pigs — 800 gms. for every kilo of feeds, will make them grow faster compared to those treated with normal diets.

It was further noted that Vitamin-C treated pigs when slaughtered had a higher dressing percentage, leaner backfat and more lean cut yields.

  3. masyadong mahal, 800 grams ng vitamin c, biruin nyo 1kg of feeds plus 800 grams vitamin c. 1.8kg ng feeds total, baka sobrang acidic n tyan ng mga baboy nyan. Kahit natural source p yan or tablets of powder form, parehas mahal. 100mg ng vitamin nasa 2pesos, 800 grams p kaya. bka 800 mg lng po ang ibig nyo sabihin sa article nyo?
