The determination of beginning- and end-of-period live weights of growing pigs

2002-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Optimisation of meat production systems depends upon accurate performance assessment. Weigh platforms in electronic feeding stations allow continuous monitoring of individual pig weight change. Such a system was compared with a conventional mechanical scale with the general result: feeding station weight (kg) = 1.02 (0.010) scale weight − 1.65 (0.766). As compared with the conventional scale measurement at start a...
