Trend of energy and nitrogen utilization of high fibre diets in pigs from 100 to 160 kg bodyweight

Trend of energy and nitrogen utilization of high fibre diets in pigs from 100 to 160 kg bodyweight

The aim of the experiment was to investigate the ability of the heavy pig to utilize diets rich in fibre. Eight Landrace x<br />Large White fattening barrows were fed 3 high fibre (HF) diets (on average 17.8% NDF on DM) and a traditional (C) diet<br />(13.5% NDF) in a Latin Square design...
