Thirty crossbred sows averaging 118.18±12.2 kg of BW, backfat thickness of 13.82±1.42 mm and 220 days old were assigned to a completely randomized design in a split plot scheme with 10 replicates and parturition orders included in the plots (3 x 3 factorial arrangement) and CP ingestion levels (10.0, 13.5, and 17.0%) in the sub-plots. The effects of dietary CP ingestion levels on female performance in three complete successive reproductive cycles were evaluated during the pregnancy. Sow weight gain in […]
