Magnesium silicate (HMS) supplementation at 2.0% of the diet did not influence the growth rate, feed conversion efficiency or carcass characteristics of castrated male growing pigs. However, feeding HMS decreased (P < 0.01) the liver weight and increased (P < 0.07) the cross-sectional area of longissimus muscle in pigs slaughtered at 68 kg body weight. Key words: Magnesium silicate, growth rate, carcass characteristics
