2009, Report prepared for …

A total of 864 male growers (Large White x Landrace, PrimeGro™ genetics) were selected at 10 weeks of age and housed in group pens of 18 pigs per pen. Pigs were selected over a six week period, 8 pens per week with a start weight of 24.42 ± 0.11 kg (mean ± SE). Within replicate, pens were randomly assigned to a 2 x 2 factorial experiment, with the respective factors being hammer mill screen size (2 mm and 3 mm) and the predominate grain source in the diet (wheat or sorghum).
