Effects of dietary energy density and lysine:calorie ratio on the growth performance of growing pigs and subsequent finishing performance

摘要

One hundred twenty crossbred gilts wereused in a growth trial to evaluate the effects of increasing dietary energy density and lysine:calorie ratio on growing pig growth performance and subsequent finishing performance. Feeding 3% choice white grease and 3.45 g lysine:Mcal ME maximized growthperformance of growing gilts. Choice white grease additions and increasing lysine:calorie ratio during growing (65 to 160 lb) did not affect carcass back fat or loin depth at 235 lb.
