The effect of feeding at 3, 6 or 12 hourly intervals on the performance and carcass composition of growing-finishing pigs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Summary
Pigs were fed either at 3, 6 or 12 hourly intervals to a scale based on live weight from 21 kg to slaughter at 79 kg live weight. There was no effect of treatment on daily gain, feed efficiency or killing out percentage. Backfat thickness at C and K was increased by four times-a-day feeding compared with feeding twice or eight times/day, but this increase in fatness was not confirmed by sample joint dissection.
