Question
which swine diet is highest in %%cp (crude protein)? a) finishing b) growing c) starter d) pre - starter
Pre - starter diets are formulated for very young swine (piglets) which have high nutritional requirements, especially for protein as they are in a rapid growth and development phase. Starter diets are for slightly older piglets but still have high protein needs. Growing diets have lower protein than starter and pre - starter as the growth rate slows down a bit. Finishing diets have the lowest protein among these as the swine are close to market weight and the focus shifts more to energy for weight gain rather than protein for tissue building.
