Abstract
SUMMARY: In two experiments, 192 individually penned pigs were given diets containing 900 g barley/kg together with either 100 g dried microbial cells (DMC)/kg or 100 g white fish meal (WFM)/kg, and grown from 23 to 60 kg live weight. In Expt 1 rationing was by live weight and there was no difference between diets for feed used or live weight gained. In Expt 2, pigs were rationed by time and those fed diet DMC grew 15 g/day slower than those fed diet WFM, and their carcasses were of lower specific gravity.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
