Predicting Productive Performance in Grow-Finisher Pigs Using Birth and Weaning Body Weight

Predicting Productive Performance in Grow-Finisher Pigs Using Birth and Weaning Body Weight

This study aimed to (1) investigate the effect of birth and weaning body weight (BW) on performance indicators of grow-finisher pigs and (2) estimate birth and weaning BW cut-off values in order to identify slow growing pigs (SGP).
