Utilisation of soybean meal in pig diets can be reduced through the formulation of low crude protein diets based on rapeseed meal and synthetic amino acids, including L‐Valine
Poster. One hundred and forty‐four (144) group‐housed growing‐finishing pigs were allocated to one of three experimental feeding strategies. Diets S were formulated with soybean meal and their dietary crude protein…
Publié en 2011Effect of the dietary net energy content on the spontaneous feed intake of growing‐finishing pigs housed individually
The effect of dietary net energy (NE) content was investigated on 96 lean-type barrows, housed individually and fed ad libitum. Six NE levels (8.1, 8.7, 9.3, 9.9, 10.6 and 11.1…
