How lower-density starter diets can improve pig performance >More in

A recent study carried out by Harper Adams and ForFarmers has found that, contrary to belief, lower-density starter diets don’t necessarily lead to lower performance.
In fact, the study showed they can deliver improved lifetime performance.
Lower-density diets have lower nutrient density – predominantly lower protein and energy. Vitamin and minerals levels remain the same.
High-density diets are often around 21% protein, but lower-density diets are lower.
About the study
The trial was carried out at Harper Adams’ pig unit, which comprises 230 sows on a farrow-finish system.
