Prediction of gut capacity of weaner and finishing pigs using physicochemical measurements of bulkiness of fibrous feeds.

Prediction of gut capacity of weaner and finishing pigs using physicochemical measurements of bulkiness of fibrous feeds.

Physicochemical properties of different fibrous ingredients were used to determine the influence of feed bulk on voluntary feed intake and gut capacity in weaner and finishing pigs. Physicochemical measures of bulkiness determined on feed ingredients were DM, crude protein (CP), ether extract, ash,...
