Water-to-feed ratios in growing-finishers
Interest in giving pigs wet feed has increased in recent decades, especially in Europe. There are still many unanswered questions about how to do this most efficiently. For instance: how much does the water-to-feed ratio matter in terms of the digestibility of energy and nutrients?
A study of water-to-feed ratios in growing-finishing pigs was recently published by Professor Josep Gasa and colleagues at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) in Spain, including Dr Ramon Muns, who graduated from UAB and now leads the Monogastric Research Group at the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) in Northern Ireland, UK.
