چکیده
Forty-eight crossbred weaner pigs divided into three groups of sixteen pigs each were used to assess the effect of feeding frequency on the performance and nutrient digestibility. The same type and quantity of feed was rationed once, twice and thrice daily. Performance of pigs fed twice daily was better than those fed once per day. Digestibility of dry matter, crude protein and crude fibre increased with twice versus once daily feeding. There were no apparent advantages from increasing the feeding frequency to thrice daily.
