Major differences were observed between the two farms. This analysis indicates that realtime ultrasound can be used to develop lean and lipid accretion curves for formulating farm-specific diets that optimize lean growth performance in commercial operations.SwineUltrasoundGrowthModelingPerformanceThe use of real-time ultrasound to model the growth performance and lysine requirements of growing-finishing pigs on commercial farmsConference paper
