Treatment Summary: | At an age of 14 weeks, 10 LBW-LEBV (BiW: 1.07 + 0.09 kg; EBV: -2.52 + 3.97 g/d, compared to an average crossbred pig with a protein deposition of 165 g/d), 10 LBW-HEBV (BiW: 1.02 + 0.13 kg; EBV: 10.47 + 4.26 g/d), 10 HBW-LEBV (BiW: 1.80 + 0.13 kg; EBV: - 2.15 + 2.28 g/d), and 10 HBW-HEBV (BiW: 1.80 + 0.15 kg; EBV: 11.18 + 3.68 g/d), male growing pigs (Synthetic boar x (Dutch Landrace x Large White)) were allotted to the experiment. The pigs were individually housed in metabolism cages (1.80 x 0.80 m) at a room temperature of 22oC. They were subjected to N- balance measurements in two sequential periods of 5 d using a restricted feeding regime. After a 6-d adaptation period to the metabolism cages, pigs were adapted for 5 days to the experimental diets before the start of the first 5-d balance period. Pigs were assigned to a protein adequate (A) or protein restricted (R, 70% of A) regime in a change-over design. LBW: Low birth weight; HBW: High birth weight; LEBV: Low estimated breeding value for protein deposition; HEBV: High estimated breeding value for protein deposition. |
