Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of dietary supplementation with bacteriophage, probiotics and their combination on growth performance, apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD), fecal bacterial populations and serum immunoglobulins in growing pigs. In both experiments, 200 barrows (LandracexYorkshirexDuroc) were randomly allotted to 4 treatments on the basis of BW. There were 5 replicate pens in each treatment with 10 pigs per pen. Experimental diets were fed in meal form for 35 d. In Exp. 1, dietary treatments included basal diet supplemented with 0 (control diet without any antimicrobials), 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 g/kg commercial bacteriophage product. Bacteriophage product contained a cocktail of bacteriophages of Salmonella (Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella cholerasuis and Salmonella derby), Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens types A and C. Dietary increasing levels of bacteriophage linearly improved (P
