A study was carried out with the objectives to evaluate the raising system deep-bedding (wood shavings and rice husk), in comparison to the traditional concrete floor in the raising of swine during the growth and finishing phases and to evaluate the animal performance based on BGTHI (Black Globe Temperature and Humidity Index), in the weight gain, ration intake, feed conversion and the water consumption. A total of 216 animals (Landrace ´ Large White) was used, divided in 12 uniform lots, […]
