Using a single diet is a very practical alternative to phase feeding and has several advantages for feed manufacture, storageand delivery. As cautioned by Moore et al. (2013a) its success will depend on the diet specifications that are chosen, whichwill vary depending on the genetic potential of the herd and the weight range over which the pigs are to be fed. Althoughblend feeding requires significant initial infrastructure, it has the ease of only two diets on hand at any time and may alsobe a practical alternative to phase feeding. The increase in fat deposition associated with blend feeding or using a single dietmay need to be considered depending on the carcass payment schedule.
