The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of net energy levels in diets for barrows, from 70 100 kg, on performance, plasma parameters and carcass characteristics. Two experiments were out: first (Experiment I), a metabolism assay estimate (NE) experimental diets. Twelve crossbred averaging 85.74 ± 6.80 kg initial body weight, distributed randomized block design with two metabolizable (ME) (3100 3500 kcal kg–1) six replicates one animal per unit. In second II), 45 castrated...
The objective of this study was to evaluate dietary lycopene levels for finishing pigs and its effects on malondialdehyde concentrations antioxidant power pork. Eighty (40 barrows 40 gilts), averaging 75.04 ± 1.6 kg initial weight, were alloted in a 2x5x4 factorial scheme, consisting two sexes (barrows five (0, 12.5, 25.0, 37.5, 50.0 mg/kg diet) four storage periods longissimus dorsimuscle 24, 48 72 hours) at 4 °C, eight replicates. F test applied the sex effect degrees freedom regarding...
Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been widely used in swine production. However, some uncertainties are associated with LCA results, due to the diversity of production systems and agricultural practices, raising questions if predicted data represents what actually happens pig system. The objective this study was evaluate use and/or observed as inputs piglets (15 30 kg) different dietary crude protein (CP) scenarios. Two animal profiles were created: feed intake weight gain representing...
