Forty pigs were weithed and assigned randomly divided in two dietary treatments: 1. a basal diet (contol group). The pigs in control group were fed diet without additives; 2. In experimental group the diets were supplemented with 600 g/tonne aroma substances as follow: Vanilia-butter in starter diet, Nectar in grower diet and Apple in finisher diet. The quantity of thyroxine in the blood plasma did not change significantly in the supplementatoin of 0.06% Vanillia-butter, Nectar and Apple in the diets of pigs.
