Abstract
New animal diet designed for breeding sows contains, as an essential ingredient, a sugar composition that is mainly fructo-oligosaccharides, mixed at 0.1 to 5% level with regular feed. Above diet has effective roles to short days to estrus after weaning of sows, thereby increasing the numbers of piglets at low cost and less labor is expected as a result. The sugar composition is obtained through the enzymatic process of fructose transferase upon sucrose in order to produce fructo-oligosaccharide as a main component.
