A total of 60 barrow pigs (89.1 ± 4.2 kg) was used to evaluate five levels (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%) of qualitative feed restriction, resulting in values of 3,407, 3,420, 3,060, 2,890, and 2,720 kcal/kg DE in the diet. Ten animals were slaughtered at the beginning of the experiment to determine the initial body composition, while the others were fed with the experimental diets until reaching 128 kg of body weight. A randomly block design was used to […]
