The aim of this study was to determine the effect of fish-based feed materials, as a source of
readily available protein contained in fish broth and essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)
found in fish oil, on the health of piglets and rearing results. The experiment was conducted on
a commercial pig fattening farm. The study involved a total of 80 weaners with an approximate body
weight of 15 kg. The experiment was carried out over a period of 40 days. Feed samples were
subjected to laboratory analyses. Blood samples were collected from experimental group animals to
determine serum biochemical and immunological parameters. The body weight gains of weaners,
mortality rates and average feed intake per animal were calculated for the entire experimental period.
The addition of fish broth and fish oil significantly improved the n3:n6 fatty acid ratio in diets. The
presence of EPA and DHA in the experimental diet could have had a positive health effect on piglets,
comparable with that exerted by therapeutic doses of zinc often administered to pigs of this age
group. During the experiment, feed conversion ratio (FCR) gain was considerably reduced in the
experimental group, with similar daily gains in the control and experimental group.
