Evaluation of energy and protein intake and prediction of growth performance of growing-finishing pigs based on meta-analysis by DI Hanqiu, WANG Shanshan, ZHONG Yifan, CHEN Bin, WANG Haifeng

“…The results showed that all the three functional models provided a reasonable fit for the DEI and CPI, and the polynomial function had a greater goodness of fit than did the power function and Bridges function. The predicted values of the DEI of the polynomial function and Bridges function were slightly higher than those of the Nutrient Requirements of Swine published by the National Research Council (NRC) in 2012 [referred to as NRC (2012)], while the predicted values of the CPI of the three functions were slightly lower than or close to those of NRC (2012). …”
