Abstract
This paper examined the effect of two levels of energy and protein in the diet of growing breeding gilts on the dynamics of growth, feed conversion and quality of stern. The results showed that increasing levels of energy and protein lead to an increase in daily growth, more efficient exploitation of feed and a better quality of stern of gilts.
Key words: Protein, energy, gilts, quality of stern.
