Experimental design : dietary regimens for the pigs born from two groups of sires with medium and high weight gain potentials
semanticscholar(2014)
摘要
The present study was performed to investigate the effects of two groups of sires with ‘medium’ and ‘high’ weight gain potentials (M-sires and H-sires, respectively) on growth of their progenies on varying planes of nutrition during the growing-finishing period. The ADG of the M-sires’ progeny was greater (P < 0.05) than that of the H-sires’ progeny (0.51 vs. 0.47 kg) during a 26to 29-d early grower phase beginning from 55 d of age, but the opposite was true (0.66 vs. 0.72 kg) during the latter grower phase. Overall grower-phase ADG was greatest on the high plane of nutrition (H plane) followed by the medium (M) and low (L) planes (0.65, 0.61, and 0.51 kg, respectively; P < 0.05) in the M-sires’ progeny, whereas in the H-sires’ progeny, ADG was greater on the H and M planes vs. L plane (0.63, 0.62, and 0.54 kg, respectively). The ADG of pigs on the M or H plane during the grower phase and switched to the H plane thereafter (M-to-H or H-to-H planes) was greater than that of pigs on the L-to-L planes (0.99 vs. 0.78 kg) during the early finisher phase in the M-sires’ progeny (P < 0.01). However, in the H-sires’ progeny, ADG of pigs on the L-to-L planes did not differ from that of pigs on the M-to-M or H-to-M planes (0.94 vs. 0.96 kg). Results suggest that the H-to-H or H-to-M planes and M-to-M or M-to-L planes are optimal for maximal growth of the Mand H-sires’ progenies, respectively.
