In total, 46 sows were fed one of four dietary treatments with increasing inclusion of SBP providing dietary fiber (DF) levels of 119, 152, 185, and 217\u00a0g\/kg; sows were assigned to one of three feeding strategies (FS; high, medium, and low) depending on BF thickness at mating and again at day 30 for the following month. On days 0, 30, 60, and 108, body weight (BW) and BF thickness were measured and body pools of protein and fat were estimated using the deuterium oxide\u00a0technique. On days 30 and 60, urine, feces, and blood samples were collected to quantify metabolites, energy, and nitrogen (N) balances. On days 15 and 45, heart rate was recorded to estimate heat energy. At farrowing, total born and weight of the litter were recorded. In early gestation, BW gain (P\u2005&amp;lt;\u20050.01) and body protein retention increased (P\u2005&amp;lt;\u20050.05) with increasing fiber inclusion, while body fat retention increased numerically by 59%. The increase in BF was greatest for sows fed the high FS, intermediate when fed the medium strategy, and negligible for sows fed the lowest FS (P\u2005&amp;lt;\u20050.001). Nitrogen intake, N loss in feces, and N balance increased linearly, whereas N loss in urine tended to decrease with increasing inclusion of fibers in early gestation. Concomitantly, fecal energy output and energy lost as methane increased linearly (P\u2005&amp;lt;\u20050.001), while energy output in urine declined linearly. Total metabolizable energy (ME) intake therefore increased from 36.5 MJ ME\/d in the low fiber group to 38.5 MJ ME\/d in the high fiber group (P\u2005&amp;lt;\u20050.01). Changing the ME towards more ketogenic energy was expected to favor fat retention rather than protein retention. However, due to increased intake of ME and increased N efficiency with increasing fiber inclusion, the sows gained more weight and protein with increasing fiber inclusion. In conclusion, increased feed intake improved both fat and protein retention, whereas increased DF intake increased protein retention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jas\/skae092","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,25]],"date-time":"2024-04-25T05:17:05Z","timestamp":1714022225000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effect of different feeding strategies and dietary fiber levels on energy and protein retention in gestating sows"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"102","author":[{"given":"Sigrid J","family":"Wisbech","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Aarhus University AU-Viborg , DK-8830 Tjele , Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0541-4387","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tina S","family":"Nielsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Aarhus University AU-Viborg , DK-8830 Tjele , Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Knud E","family":"Bach Knudsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Aarhus University AU-Viborg , DK-8830 Tjele , Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter K","family":"Theil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Aarhus University AU-Viborg , DK-8830 Tjele , Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas S","family":"Bruun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SEGES Innovation , DK-8200 Aarhus N , Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024052116360910900_CIT0001","volume-title":"Official methods of analysis","author":"AOAC","year":"2000","edition":"17th ed"},{"key":"2024052116360910900_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"319","DOI":"10.1016\/S0377-8401(97)00009-6","article-title":"Carbohydrate and lignin contents of plant materials used in animal feeding","volume":"67","author":"Bach Knudsen","year":"1997","journal-title":"Anim.
