ResumoTwo experiments (E) were carried out with the objective of evaluating the effects of the addition of fumaric acid and organic source of calcium content phosphorus in diets of weaned pigs on the performance (E1) and intestinal morphology (E2). A total of 96 and 32 pigs with initial mean weights 5,66 kg ± 0,44kg and 5,34 ± 0,45kg , in E1 and in E2, respectively were used. A randomized block design in a 2X2 factorial arrangement: (two supplementary sources of calcium and phosphorus organic or inorganic and two levels of fumaric acid 0.0 or 1.0%. In E2 a 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 factorial arrangement (two supplementary sources of calcium and phosphorus organic or inorganic, two levels of fumaric acid 0.0 or 1.0%, two slaughter and two portions of small instentine) were used randomized block design. No interaction between acidifier and source of calcium and phosphorus was found for none of the variables studied in the two experiments. No treatment effects were found on daily feed intake and daily weight gain from 0 to 17 days, 0 to 30 days or 0 to 37 days postweaning. Feed conversion from 0 to 17 days was best (P<0.05) when inorganic sources of Ca and P were fed; however, no such difference was observed from 0 to 30 days or from 0 to 37 days. The averages of villus height (AV), crypt depth (PC), AV: PC relationship and mucous membrane of the duodenum and of the jejunum, didn't differ among treatments. Considering the total nursery period, no benefit was found in using an acidifier, however the organic source of Ca containig P studied may replace the inorganic sources in the diets of piglets, with no damage to performance and to intestinal morphology.
