Extract

Pig producers are under pressure from cost production and are having to become increasingly environmentally aware. Phase-feeding has been suggested as an alternative feeding strategy, which may have the potential to improve productivity and reduce nitrogen excretion in the growing-finishing period. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of mono- versus tri-phase feeding on pig performance and nitrogen balance.
