Abstract

A total of 90 crossbred initial BW6.16 kg were used to investigate the effects of dietary nutrient concentrations on productivity and carcass characteristics in growing-finishing pigs. The experiment was conducted in three treatments as a randomized complete block RCB design. A basal diet T1 was prepared according to the Korean Feeding Standard for Swine 2002 and proportions off all nutrients contained in the basal diet were approximately increased to 8 T2 or 16 T3. Average daily feed intake ADF1 and G:F ratio were influenced P0.05 but average daily gain ADG was not influenced P0.05 when pigs were fed high nutrient level throughout the whole experimental period. Carcass characteristics including slaughter weight back-fat thickness lean and fat contents were not influenced P0.05 by nutrient concentrations. Carcass grade was improved P0.05 according to the increased nutrient concentrations. The results indicated that feed efficiency and carcass grade were not influenced by dietary treatments.
