The effect of sex (females or castrated males) on the pattern of feed intake was studied in 14 Mexican local, Cuino pigs averaging 59.6 kg and fed ad libitum a conventional diet given in meal form and based on maize and soybean meal (N x 6.25, 14.2%) during 16 weeks. Feed consumption during the two hours of observation (9:00 to 11:00 a.m.) accounted for 91.5 and 94.8% of dry feed offered to castrate male and female Cuino pigs; therefore, during the session of measurements, the level of feed intake was 35.2 and 35.3 g/kg live weight in castrate male and female individuals. Females spent less time eating than the castrate male animals (p<0.01) but visited the trough more frequently (p<0.05). As a consequence, meal size was significantly small...
