Резюме: A scientific and economic experiment on 45 sucklings piglets from the East Balkan breed divided into 2 groups of 4 litters each (23 and 22 heads in a group) was carried out on Experiment Station of Agriculture - Sredets. The pigs from the first group received a compound feed, while those of the second – 70% of the feed and 30% wheat Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles (wDDGS). The average daily gain (ADG) of the pigs from the second group was non-significantly lower by 21.16%. The replacement of 30% of the traditional feed with wDDGS had negative effect on the average daily gain and feed conversion ration. Strongest influence on the intensity of growth had initial live weight of sucklings piglets (P <0.001).
