Therefore we use feed additives <strong>and</strong> research active components forpromoting health in animals (especially reinforcing the immune system). Ninty twocommercial crossbred piglets weaned at 28 th day <strong>and</strong> attended until 63 rd day <strong>of</strong> life weredivided into four groups <strong>of</strong> twenty three piglets. The first, control group had nosupplementation in feed. The second <strong>and</strong> the third experimental group were added 0.2%Bio-Mos ® <strong>and</strong> 0.2% Progut ® preparation in the feed mixture, during the wholeexperimental period. Piglets from the fourth experimental group was treated with 10 mlorally given copolymer <strong>of</strong> polyoxyethylene <strong>and</strong> polyoxypropylene (POE-POP, USApatent No. 5.234.683/1993) on the weaning day (0 day). Body weight was controlled atthe beginning <strong>of</strong> the trial, 21 st <strong>and</strong> 35 th day after weaning day <strong>and</strong> blood samples weretaken from the animals in order to determine haematological values.
