“…The results of that experiment for growth and feed efficiency obtained with pigs who received their feed twice a day but in irregular quantities suggested that especially the periode of fasting between meals may by responsible for the un favourable influence on growth and feed efficiency noticed in pigs fed only once per two days. Veum (1970) found that efficiency of feed utilization was the same for pigs fed ad libitum as on a 1-day feed / 1-day fast sequence but declined with increasing fasting intervals up to 2 and 3 days alternated with ad libitum feeding for 1 day.…”

In a 3 X 2 factorial design of experiment 96 growing pigs weighing 20 kg initially were given a ration based on maize which is normally used for performance testing in the Netherlands or a least-cost ration with more byproducts, twice daily at 50, once daily at 100 or once every 2 days at 200 g/kg0.75. Metabolism trials were made when the pigs reached 35, 65 and 85 kg. Blood was sampled at intervals just before feeding. Growth rate and feed efficiency were greater in pigs fed once daily than in those fed twice daily by 4 and 3% respectively. Nonesterified fatty acids in blood showed that pigs need be fed only once daily. Performance of pigs fed every 2 days was poor. The least-cost ration caused a decrease in growth rate and feed efficiency but produced thinner backfat and a greater percentage of meat. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)

“…following a 24-hr. period of ad libitum feeding in continuous sequence throughout the finishing period depresses weight gain and efficiency of feed utilization in direct relation to duration of the fasting period and has marked associated effects on carcass measurements, gland and organ weights and a small effect on fatty acid composition of the back fat (Veum et al, 1970).

A system of restricted feeding in which feed is entirely withheld for intervals of 24, 48 or 72 hr. following a 24-hr. period of ad libitum feeding in continuous sequence throughout the finishing period depresses weight gain and efficiency of feed utilization in direct relation to duration of the fasting period and has marked associated effects on carcass measurements, gland and organ weights and a small effect on fatty acid composition of the back fat (Veum et al., 1970). Cohn (1963) and Leveille and Hanson (1965, 1966) have shown marked changes in metabolism of nutrients and in body composition associated with frequency of meal intake in laboratory animals. The work reported herein was included as a part of the experiment of Veum et al. (1970).

“…f Present address: School of Agriculture, University of Aberdeen, Scotland. examined by Cole et al (1968), Owen, Ridgman & Wyllie (1971), Pratsos, Curran & Lean (1972) and Veum et al (1970). However, while these show that the energy deficit induced by the food restriction or starvation tends to be cumulative, there is little information available as to the speed of the response, and little information that would allow pigs to be compared with other species.…”

Two experiments were carried out to examine the effects of restricted food access on the voluntary food intake of pigs given diets of varying energy content or palatability. Where pigs were offered access to food for a restricted time period each day, the voluntary food intake was reduced in relation to the length of access allowed. Compensation was slow, particularly where a low-energy diet was fed. Younger pigs (35-45 kg) compensated faster than heavier pigs (100-110 kg). The responses of the heavier pigs appeared to be similar to those reported for genetically obese rats in their strong reaction to diets of different energy content or palatability.
