Marçal,Danilo Alves; Kiefer,Charles; Alencar,Stephan Alexander da Silva; Farias,Taynah Vieira Aguiar; Santos,Luana Cristiane dos; Viana,Luiz HenriqueABSTRACT: This study identified the effects of dietary supplementation with ractopamine, chromium picolinate, chromium yeast, or an energetic feed restriction on the growth performance and lipid profile of subcutaneous fat, in late finishing gilts. Twenty genetically similar gilts with initial body weight of 105.35 ± 4.77 kg and a final body weight of 131.37 ± 5.58 kg were distributed in a completely randomized...
Dietary net energy levels for growing barrows from 30 to 70 kg
Rodrigues,Gabriela Puhl; Kiefer,Charles; Nascimento,Karina Márcia Ribeiro de Souza; Corassa,Anderson; Marçal,Danilo Alves; Bonin,Marina de NadaiABSTRACT: This study evaluated the effect of dietary net energy (NE) levels on growth performance and carcass characteristics of barrows from 30 to 70 kg of body weight (BW). Sixty barrows with initial body weight (IBW) of 31.94 ± 3.54 kg and final body weight (FBW) of 71.98 ± 5.99 kg were allotted to one of five dietary NE levels (2.40, 2.45, 2.50, 2.55, and 2.60 Mcal kg-1), using a completely randomized block...
