Nutritional plans of net energy with a constant calorie:nutrient ratio on the performance of piglets from 7 to 30 kg

Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate different nutritional plans of net energy (NE) with a constant calorie:nutrient ratio on the performance of piglets from 7 to 30 kg. Sixty barrows with an initial weight of 7.11±0.89 kg were distributed among five nutritional plans: two NE-decreasing plans (A and B, starting from NE
