Allee, G.L.Noll, M.2010-04-302010-04-302010-04-30http://hdl.handle.net/2097/3774Sixty pigs from nine 1itters were allotted, 24 hours after birth, by litter, sex, and birth weight to three treatments: A) sow reared, B) artificially reared and fed milk replacer ad libitum twice daily (artificially reared-unrestricted), and C) artificially reared and restricted to 50% of the nutrient intake of treatment B (artificially reared-restricted). Artificially reared pigs were housed in individual cages during the 20 day treatment period. After 21 days of age, pigs were fed corn-soybean meal diets ad libitum to slaughter at 220 pounds. Average daily gains and pig weights at 21 days differed significantly (P<.0l) different among all treatments.SwineArtificial rearingPerformanceCarcass characteristicsEffects of artificial rearing and restricted nutrient intake during the first three weeks of life on later performance and carcass characteristics of pigsConference paper
