Abstract

Traditionally, the energy and protein allowances are designed to produce as high as possible performance (we shall refer subsequently to the daily weight gain).  Only few systems of assessing the energy and nutrient requirement offer the possibility to monitor carcass quality expressed mainly by the lipid to protein ratio.
