To investigate the effects of feeding restricted on growth, carcass characteristics and plasma profiles in an attempt for optimum responses, a total of 108 cross-bred finishing barrows [(Landrace×Yorkshire)×Duroc]weighing an average of 46.88±0.52 kg were assigned in a randomized complete block (RCB) design to one of four treatments with three replicates and nine pigs per pen.
