Performance and physiological data from 100 crossbred female piglets, 50 maintained in a termoneuter environment (21.4±1.00°C) and 50 in a high temperature environment (32.0±.88°C), allotted to a randomized blocks design, with five replicates and two animals per experimental unit, fed diets with five levels of digestible energy (3100, 3250, 3400, 3550 and 3700 kcal of dietary ED/kg), were evaluated. The animals which were exposed to the temperature of 32ºC had reduced weight gains and feed, protein and energy intakes. The […]
