The experimental diets were fed for ten weeks. There was no differencein growth performance at any time period (P > 0.05) between feeding strategies. Dressingpercentage was lower in pigs fed the blend and single diet feeding strategies compared tophase-feeding (P = 0.05). Pigs on the blend and single diet feeding strategy deposited morefat compared to those that were phase-fed (P = 0.015). Intramuscular fat was also increasedin pigs on the blend feeding strategy compared to pigs fed the single diet or phase fed(P = 0.007). Feeding a single diet and blend-feeding appear to have some merit and eitherstrategy may be appropriate under certain circumstances, for example, for smaller produc-ers. However, the increase in fat deposition in the single diet and blend feeding strategycompared to the phase-fed strategy should be considered if producers are paid on a leanmeat yield basis.
