Results of the first experiment showed that at 40 to 75 kg liveweight, there was a significant (P0.05) increasing growth rate [GR], energy intake [EI], backfat thickness [BFT] and P2 measurements of both barrows and gilts with increasing energy level [EL] in a linear manner. A significant (P0.05) de...
