Extract

Previous experiments indicated that several fibrous raw materials in dry sow diets failed to prevent excessive nutrient intake. Only a diet high in unmolassed sugar-beet pulp (SBP) limited voluntary intake to acceptable levels. SBP consists of mainly soluble fibre. It is known that some types of fibre can affect blood metabolites and hormone profiles, which might affect intake regulation. The effects on blood metabolites and insulin of a diet containing soluble or insoluble fibre were compared to a diet containing readily available carbohydrates.
