Abstract / Description of output

This trial examined the effects of feeding six diets, which varied in either amount or composition, during the oestrous cycle prior to insemination on embryo survival and foetal development on day 27+/-2 of pregnancy in gilts. Ten or 11 gilts per group received either a maintenance (M) diet, 1.8 x M, 2.6 x M or nutritionally balanced diets in which the content of fibre, protein or starch was increased. Of the six diets tested, only the high fibre diet significantly increased embryo survival when compared to its 1.8 x M isoenergetic control (88.20+/-1.96% versus 81.25+/-2.67%; P
