A New Technique for Limited Feeding Experiments

Wise Burroughs and W. E. Carroll

University of Illinois

Abstract

Conclusions:

  1. Limiting the swine ration to three-fourths of a full-feed did not materially lower the amount of feed required to put on a unit of body weight. Limited-fed animals were not as well finished, however, as were those that were full-fed.
  2. The apparent equality of feed costs per unit of gain at the two levels of feeding appears to be the result of two compensating factors; namely, body composition and maintenance requirements, rather than factors of digestion and metabolism.
  3. The assumption that individual feeding trials lead to results of doubtful practical interpretation does not appear to be well founded. The present study is in full agreement with the group feeding trials thus far carried out on limited swine rations.
