Performance and body composition of finishing gilts (45 to 85 kilograms) as affected by energy intake and nutrition in earlier life: II. Protein and lipid accretion in body components.

Abstract excerpt

Forty-eight commercial hybrid gilts were used to investigate the response relationships between energy intake and deposition of protein and lipid in body components of finishing pigs (45 to 85 kg) as affected by previous nutrition. Two groups of 24 gilts received a single diet either at 2.2 (rest...
