Abstract
Reducing dietary phosphorus (P) levels offers both environmental and economic benefits. This study examined the growth and first parity reproductive performance of female pigs, raised on low P diets in the grower phase, from 21 to 53 kg live weight (LW), and the finisher phase, from 53 to 91 kg LW.
