Add to ORKGThree hundred and ninety-four PIC sows were used to determine the effects of increased feed intake during two critical stages of fetal development on farrowing performance and offspring carcass characteristics. Sows were fed 8 Ibid for one of three periods, d 10 to 30, d 30 to 50, or d 10 to 50 of gestation in comparison to a control level of 4 Ibid. Treatments did not affect the number of pigs farrowed. Sows fed 8 Ibid of complete diet from d 10 to 30 of gestation tended to have offspring with heavier hot carcass weight (P = .16) compared to offspring of other sows. Sows fed 8 Ibid of feed from d 30 to 50 produced offspring with greater backfat and decreased percentage lean than offspring of other sows. Effects observed in the carcass char...
