Prototypes of precision feeding systems gestating and lactating sows

Estimated digestible lysine concentration (g.kg –1 feed) required to minimise feeding cost ratio of maximum weight gain and of minimum FCR achieved as well as percentage of birds

IGF-I levels were lower in L than in H sows during lactation despite slightly higher GH levels, which suggests an uncoupling of IGF-I secretion from GH secretion under

The RMSEP of daily BW decreased with increasing number of historical data used (Table 1). This corresponds to 3% and 0.7% of BW at the beginning and the end of test period,

The first trial involved 72 sows penned on a slatted floor in a dynamic group with connected drinkers and automatic feeders, whereas the second trial was carried out

The difference between intracellular (erythrocyte) and extracellular (plasma) contents was much greater for lysine than for threonine. What- ever the diets and the vessels

From these simulations, precision feeding strategy seemed more efficient for reducing N and P excretion in farm B than in farm A.  This is partly because sows in farm B had

Different types of information are stored in this database: (i) the description of herd profile and performance, and the general strategy of management of sow body
