Abstract

Pigs fed pelleted and expanded diets from wet/dry feeders had 4.4% greater ADG and 7.9 % greater efficiency of gain than pigs fed a mash diet. Also, trends for greater efficiencies of gain occurred among pigs fed expanded pellets vs standard pellets and expandate vs expanded pellets.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 16, 2000
