The Performance of Growing-Finishing Pigs Fed Diets with Reduced Crude Protein
By John F. Patience, A. Denise Beaulieu, Ruurd T. Zijlstra, Doug A. Gillis and James Usry, Prairie Swine Centre Inc. - Successful formulation of low protein diets increases our flexibility in formulating practical diets, provides us with another tool to lower nitrogen output in the slurry and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This experiment was conducted to compare the performance of pigs fed regular protein versus low protein diets.
