Thirty male pigs of the Portuguese Alentejano (AL) breed raised outdoors with ad libitum water and feed were used to test the effects of a new high soluble dietary fibre feed on animal performance and carcass traits. From 40 to 130kg body weight, surgically castrated (group C) and intact pigs (groups I and IE) were fed with commercial feeds. From 130kg until slaughter (160kg), groups C and I ate a commercial di...
This work, within the framework of ECO-PIG Project, measured the effects of a high soluble dietary fibre feed on blood biochemistry parameters in outdoor raised Portuguese Alentejano (AL) male pigs (n=30) with access to ad libitum water and feed. Surgically castrated (group C) and intact pigs (groups I and IE) were fed commercial diets from 40 to 130kg body weight. From 130 until 160kg (slaughter), groups C and...
