Average daily gain (ADG) of pigs fed the 25% sunflower seed diet ground through a 1/8 in. screen was similar to ADG of pigs fed the control diet or that with 15% sunflower seeds, although there was a reduction in ADFI. This indicates that finely ground sunflower seeds can be utilized in nursery pig diets up to 25% with no impairment in performance.SwineNursery pigsSunflower seedsParicle sizeEffect of diet particle size on utilization of sunflower oil seeds in nursery pig dietsConference paper
