Feed efficiency depends on many feed composition factors such as amino acid concentration, energy, and nutrient balance. Environmental factors also have a large influence. Feeder space allowance impacts growth and feed intake, with more feeder space increasing final body weight and daily gain. More attention needs to be paid to monitor the cost of energy in pig diets and optimize the efficiency of its use.
