Effect of Particle Size of Brown Rice on Digestibility of Energy and Crude Protein in Growing-Finishing Pigs

摘要

Recently, considerable attention has been given to the use of brown rice as a feed ingredient for pigs in Japan, and a variety of rice cultivars for grain feed have been developed. At present, some reports are available on the digestibility of energy,crude protein (CP) and amino acids of pig feed (Furuya and Kaji, 1987 ； Li et al" 2006 ； Ishida et al" 2014). However, the practical nutritional value of brown rice remains unclear.
