Sixty crossbred piglets, with average initial weight of 15.1 ± 0.50 kg and 56 ± 3.6 days old were used to evaluate the dietary crude protein levels, for barrows in the initial growing phase, under low temperature environment (15ºC). The animals were allotted to a randomized blocks design, with five treatments, six replications and two animals per experimental unit. The treatments consisted of diets with 17.0, 18.0, 19.0, 20.0, and 21.0% crude protein (CP). The dietary crude protein levels affected […]
