Extract

The influence of dietary nutrients on carcass composition, rate of tissue deposition and the development of specific tissues, major and minor muscles in particular has been well documented for pigs reared in a temperate environment. Attempts have also been made in this environment to simulate artificial tropical conditions and, on the consequence of such conditions, to predict the nutrition and growth of the pigs.
