The allocation levels of phase 1 and phase 2 diets
immediately postweaning had little influence on postweaning growth performance with only FCR up to 2weeks
postweaning being influenced by treatment. This was
unexpected as previous work investigating the nutrient
density of diets for weanling pigs showed that nutrient
dense diets do improve pig performance during the early
postweaning period (Dritzetal.,1996; Lawloretal.,2002;
Whangetal.,2000; Wolteretal.,2003).
