We presented our results on prebiotic containing mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) effectiveness as an immune response modifier in young pigs during their fattening. We found that MOS content at a dose of 0.06% from mixed feed contributed to increase in pig average daily growth by 7.5% and reduced the feed costs on growth gain by 6.3%. We observed that the animal productivity, feed costs per 1 kg of growth gain, slaughter weight, slaughter yield, and pig carcass weight were higher after introduction of prebiotics to mixed feed. We suggested the usage of the prebiotic with mannan oligosaccharides as immune response modifier for young pigs diet during the fattening increase the nutrient contents in slaughter products (meat, lard, and liver).
