Effect of Feeding Conjugated Linoleic Acid over Different Periods of Weight Gain on Swine Performance and Body Composition
Abstract
Pigs fed conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) for the longest period had increased gain:feed ratios, decreased backfat thickness, and increased loin muscle area. Most of the performance responses to CLA, however, were obtained with shorter periods of feeding CLA.
