Effect of liquid feeding at different water-to-feed ratios on the growth performance of growing-finishing pigs
The study examined the growth performance of pigs offered liquid feed or dry feed on either a restricted or an ad libitum basis, and whether their growth performance was further influenced by the water-to-feed ratio. The study was split into two parts to enable unrestricted (trial 1; n = 64) and res...
