Summary
It is well known that young growing pigs have a higher dietary protein need than older finishing pigs. Previous research at this station, reported in A.S. Series 76-35. showed that pigs fed low-protein diets during early growth had reduced growth rate and increased feed/gain. Feeding an adequate protein diet after the deficient diet resulted in a trend for performance above that of designed to further study the effect of a short period of protein insufficiency on gain feed/gain during subsequent growth periods.
