Forty-eight females from the Botucatu Genetic Group were used in each season (warm or cool), starting at the age of 70 days, housed in groups of four per cage up to 119 days, and reared in dividually from 120 to 140 days of age. The high-density diet was formulated to contain, on a 90% DM basis, 18.4% CP, 16.5% ADF and 2,500 kcal DE kg -1 ; whereas the low-density diet was formulated to contai n 14.7% CP, 24% ADF and 2,000 kcal DE kg -1 .

The high-density diet promoted lower feed in take, higher final weight, and higher daily weight gain, adjusted for constant intake.

In the warm season, there was a reduction in feed intake and an improvement in feed efficiency.
