Abstract
Individual feed intake data were recorded using electronic feeders for 278 animals in a commercial group-housed environment. A reduction in feed intake compared to the expected was observed. Factors influencing this reduction in feed intake are described. Recommendations are made for using these factors in the operation of electronic feeders to minimise the reduction in feed intake.
