With the objective of evaluating the effects of the number of animals per experimental unit and the type of feeder on the nutritional requirement and carcass characteristics of pigs from 60 to 95 kg, 704 castrated male pigs with initial body weight of 59.84 ± 1.67 kg were used. The animals were distributed in a randomized experimental design subdivided into parcels, with different number of animals per experimental unit (EU) and in the subplots, a 2 × 4 factorial scheme, […]

To evaluate the effects from two lipid sources (soybean oil and coconut oil) and of four energy levels (3350, 3450, 3550 and 3650 kcal/kg ration) on performance from 60 to 100 kg boars, eighty animals were used. The experimental design of randomized blocks with a factorial arrangement of 2 x 4 (sources x energy levels), with five replications of two animals per box, was used. Experimental diets formulated on the basis of maize, soybean meal and vitaminic and mineral supplement […]
