Extract

Feeding regimes in commercial practice do not always meet precisely the changing nutritional requirements of growing pigs. Increasing the number of feeds offered (phase feeding) or, alternatively, allowing the animals to select their own diet from a choice of foods may improve the balance between nutrient supply and animal requirements. The aim of this experiment was to compare 8 feeding strategies from weaning to slaughter at 90kg.
