Effect of two different feeding strategies on energy intake from pasture, feed efficiency and growth performance of growing-finishing pigs in a mobile pasture system

•High concentrate inputs constitute an environmental challenge in free-range pig production.•The potential to obtain compensatory growth was evaluated for growing-finishing pigs in a mobile pasture system.•Compensatory growth was partially achieved.•High daily gains and feed efficiencies were found across feeding regimes.•Pigs were able to cover a substantial share of their daily energy requirements from direct foraging.
