Restricted floor feeding or ad libitum feeding of growing pigs using a prototype micro-processor controlled feed dispenser
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 November 2017
Extract
An experiment at Terrington compared restricted floor feeding with ad libitum hopper feeding of group housed pigs over a weight range of about 35-90 kg. A prototype micro-processor controlled feed dispensing system, developed from the “Pig Code” electronic sow feeder, was used to automatically record ad libitum feed intake. Two dispensers were used to investigate the effect of feeder siting on pig performance and pen cleanliness.
