The optimum duration of test for the measurement of ADG, ADFI, feed:gain ratio and residual feed intake was examined in growing pigs. The results indicated that for growing pigs under good nutrition and ad libitum feeding, a 28-

feed:gain ratio, and residual feed intake without compromising the accuracy of measurement.
