Extract

Protein is an expensive nutrient in pig diets and high protein diets lead to high N excretion, a source of pollution. Low protein nutritional strategies are therefore needed, but these often increase fat deposition. This study compared three nutritional strategies differing in protein and energy supply using genotypes with different propensities for fat deposition.
