Summary

In an incomplete block 2x2x2 factorial experiment seventy-two Large White type pigs, after having been fed individually and identically up to 120 lb (54·5 kg) live weight, were fed from that weight up to 200 lb (90·9 kg) live weight maize or barley based diets (factor 1), with each diet having either a wide or a narrow calorie/protein/lysine (CPL) ratio (factor 2). The feeding was effected in individual feeders in a Danish type piggery (with six pigs per pen) with all diets offered as wet mashes and according to scales which gave two different calorie intakes (factor 3). There were, therefore, four different diets and eight different feeding treatments.
