Reduction of feed intake is a common physiological response of growing pigs facing stressful environmental conditions. The aim of the present experiment was 1) to study the effects of a short-term drastic feed restriction and subsequent refeeding on pig metabolism, and 2) to study the differential response between 2 breeds, the Large White (LW) breed that has been selected for high growth performance and the Creole (CR) breed, which is characterized by its good adaptation to harsh tropical environmental conditions. An assay with a total of 36 castrated male pigs (18 LW and 18 CR) was carried out. For each breed, half of the animals were restrictively-fed at 50% of the standard allowance for 7 days and were then fed normally for the next 15 ...
