TLDR
The dietary inclusion of benzoic acid at the supplementation levels of 0.3% and 0.5% significantly improved the growth performance of nursery and grower-finisher pigs in the current study; the nursery pigs responded to the dietary supplementation of benzosic acid up to 0.About:

TL;DR: In this article, an in situ experimental procedure was performed in order to investigate the effect of supplementing the conventional diet (CNVD) supplied to the fattening pigs of a commercial pig farm in Greece (based on maize, barley, wheat bran and soybean meal) with 0.4% w/w attapulgite and benzoic acid at the expense of maize (ATTBAD diet).

The effects of benzoic acid and essential oils on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and colonic microbiota in nursery pigs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effects of the combination of benzoic acid and essential oils (BE) in nursery pigs, and found that the supplemental BE increased the average body weight of the pigs.
