In contrast, the increases in the P:S ratio indicate an improved healthiness of the meat with a lower keeping ability. However, introducing a finishing period with adlibitum feeding prevents the deterioration of the meat quality traits, and the
length of this period should be from somewhere between 40 and 80 kg body weight until slaughter,
but a more exact body weight needs to be clarified. Such a strategy results in compensatory growth and thus maintains the performance and the meat quality compared to adlibitum feeding
