Extract

Dietary energy is the major factor influencing the cost of pig feed and consequently pig meat production. Therefore, precise estimation of the energy value of feedstuffs is particularly important. The 1991 Braude Scholarship was used to finance a visit to a number of research establishments based in the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and France to compare their systems of energy evaluation, to investigate the energy-yielding ingredients included in pig diets in these countries and to learn of current research concerning these areas, specifically on the digestibility of fats.
