Sows and gilts fed the 50% alfalfa meal ration performed similarly to those fed the basal ration in regard to number of pigs farrowed, pigs weaned, and weights at birth, 14 and 28 days. The reduced caloric intake by sows fed 50% alfalfa meal was not detrimental to farrowing or reproductive performance.SwineSowsGestationAlfalfa meal rationFarrowingBasal rationConference paper
