Abstract excerpt
High-producing Landrace-Large White crossbred gilts (n = 50) involving 198 farrowings were used to evaluate dietary gestation protein (13 vs 16% CP) and gestation feed intakes (Control vs High), and their interaction, over a five-parity period on sow reproductive performance. Gestation feed intake for Control was 1.81 kg/d during parity 1, increasing by .09 kg for each successive parity. The daily feed intake for...
