Summary:

Understanding the effect of energy intake on growth performance and body composition of pigs is critical for the development of economical feeding strategies. However, Knowledge is limited on the influence of varying amounts of DE content on growth and body composition according to the growth potential of the pig. A study was conducted to examine the effect of increasing dietary digestible (DE) concentration on weaned pig performance at the farm level. Results indicate that higher dietary DE concentration may not improve weaned pig performance.
