Abstract

The effect of energy deposition and the utilization of feedstuffs and rations were compared between growing and adult pigs. The good agreement in the data leads to the conclusion, that the energy deposition effect of feedstuffs and rations in growing pigs can be estimated with an equation based on measurements in adult pigs. Exceptions are feedstuffs which are digested bacterially to a relatively high part in the large intestine, as e. g. sugar beet pulp, raw potatoes or similar feed.

Es wurden Vergleiche zur Energieansatzwirkung und Energieverwertung von Futtermitteln und Rationen zwischen wachsenden und adulten Schweinen durchgeführt. Die gute Übereinstimmung in den Ergebnissen führt zu der Schlußfolgerung, daß die Energieansatzwirkung von Futtermitteln und Rationen beim wachsenden Schwein mit einer Gleichung geschätzt werden kann, die auf Messungen am ausgewachsenen Schwein basiert. Ausnahmen sind Futtermittel, die zu einem größeren Anteil bakteriell im Dickdarm verdaut werden, wie z.B. Trockenschnitzel, rohe Kartoffeln oder ähnliche Futtermittel.
