Added Dietary Fat Improves Growth Performance and Feed Efficiency in Growing-finishing Pigs under Commercial Conditions
A total of 480 pigs was used in an experiment conducted in a commercial research facility to determine the influence of fat additions to the growing-finishing diet on pig performance and carcass composition. Adding fat to the diet from 80 to 265 lb increased ADG and F/G by 1 and 2%, respectively, for each 1% added fat. The growth response was greatest during the initial phase of the trial (80 t...
متن کاملEffect of liquid feeding at different water-to-feed ratios on the growth performance of growing-finishing pigs.
The study examined the growth performance of pigs offered liquid feed or dry feed on either a restricted or an ad libitum basis, and whether their growth performance was further influenced by the water-to-feed ratio. The study was split into two parts to enable unrestricted (trial 1; n = 64) and restricted (trial 2; n = 48) feeding to be compared. Male pigs were randomly allocated to six dietar...
متن کاملManagement factors affecting mortality, feed intake and feed conversion ratio of grow-finishing pigs.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of animal management and farm facilities on total feed intake (TFI), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and mortality rate (MORT) of grower-finishing pigs. In total, 310 batches from 244 grower-finishing farms, consisting of 454 855 Pietrain sired pigs in six Spanish pig companies were used. Data collection consisted of a survey on management practices...
متن کاملProtein synthesis and degradation gene SNPs related to feed intake, feed efficiency, growth, and ultrasound carcass traits in Nellore cattle.
We looked for possible associations of SNPs in genes related to protein turnover, with growth, feed efficiency and carcass traits in feedlot Nellore cattle. Purebred Nellore bulls and steers (N = 290; 378 ± 42 kg body weight, 23 months ± 42 days old) were evaluated for daily feed intake, body weight gain (BWG), gross feed efficiency, feed conversion ratio, partial efficiency of growth, residual...
متن کاملOptimum duration of performance tests for evaluating growing pigs for growth and feed efficiency traits.
The optimum duration of test for the measurement of ADG, ADFI, feed:gain ratio [which is the reciprocal of the efficiency of gain (G:F) and therefore increases as the efficiency of gain decrease and vice versa], and residual feed intake was examined in growing pigs. Data from 144 hybrid (mainly Large White x Landrace) pigs involved in a longitudinal (n = 54) and serial slaughter (n = 90) experi...
