Extract

The Agricultural Research Council (1981) states the energy requiremnets for pregnant sows in terms of amounts needed per day to ensure specific net pregnancy weight gains for differing weights at service (Table 1.). An experiment was set up primarily to test the validity of these recommendations which were derived by factorial calculations and secondly to examine the relationship between condition (P2 measurement) and weight changes over the reproductive cycle.
