Feed intake patterns nor growth rates of pigs are affected by dietary resistant starch, despite marked differences in digestion

Current feed evaluation systems often assume that fermented starch (i.e. resistant starch (RS)) yields less energy than digested starch. However, growth rates of pigs fed low and high RS diets are often the same when feed is available ad libitum. This may be explained by its effect on digestive proc...
