Nutritional and Metabolic Consequences of Feeding High-Fiber Diets to Swine: A Review

Published: June 21, 2018

Summary

1. Introduction Conventional swine diets contain substantial amounts of cereal grains (e.g., corn and wheat) and protein supplements such as soybean meal to provide pigs with the energy and nutrients they require. However, recent trends in the demand and supply of these conventional feedstuffs require swine producers around the world to seek low-cost alternatives such as cereal co-products fro...

Dr. Martin, congratulations on the excellent article. As I am in a tropical country, Brazil, I think I lacked information about the limitations of increasing the level of fiber in pig diets during the hot season of the year. In this sense, we have to consider two main factors. the increase in the caloric increment (CI) of the animals' rations and digestive tract. With regard to this last factor, the restriction would be related to the fact that the digestive tract is the one that produces the most heat per gram of tissue. From your point of view, these considerations make sense.
