The\u00a0objective of this experiment was to assess the interactions of stocking\u00a0density and dietary energy, and determine how these interactions affect\u00a0net income. When stocking density was increased, the performance\u00a0of finishing pigs was reduced; however the income over feed cost\u00a0(IOFC) was maximized when pigs were stocked at higher densities. \u00a0Furthermore, finishing pigs responded to increasing dietary energy\u00a0by decreasing feed intake and improving growth rate, feed efficiency,\u00a0caloric intake, caloric efficiency, and IOFC. However, the dietary\u00a0energy which maximized performance and economics did not vary\u00a0with stocking density. Thus producers should optimize both of these\u00a0factors separately when determining optimal production.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/prairieswine.com\/rsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DE_Concentraion_2014.pdf\">View pdf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dietary net energy and stocking density independently affect\u00a0performance, feed utilization and profits in the finisher barn.
