The concept of precision feeding and the goal of improving the efficiency of essential nutrient utilization is considered an innovative technique in swine research in recent years.
Precision Feeding not only improves the efficiency of nutrient uptake but also mitigates negative impacts on the environment.
How can we boost sow feed intake during lactation under heat stress conditions?
Sow feed intake pattern changes throughout the day depending on the season.
In the previous paper, the effects of nutrient restriction and consequent catabolism during lactation on sow reproduction yield have been addressed. In the present paper, the efficiency of sows in using energy from feed and body mass is considered.
The study described here was designed to determine if the body tissue mobilization during lactation imposed by feed restriction could affect litter size and sow performance in the subsequent lactation.
