Sixteen apparently healthy large white Yorkshire Sows were divided in to two groups, one served as control no treatment group (n= 8) and another as treatment group (n= 8) supplemented with AV/MCC/18 at dose rate of 10 g/ day throughout the gestation till parturition. Parameters viz. total number of services required for successful conception, litter size per sow, birth weight of day old piglet, any incidence of congenital anomalies were recorded. The results significantly revealed that AV/MCC/18 supplementation had significantly (p>0.05) reduced the number of services for successful conception, increased the number as well as birth weight of the piglets and significantly (p>0.05) reduced the mortality in new born piglets.
