采食量，被看作是从出生到销售的连续体，最好用曲线函数来描述。它不是一条直线。这就是为什么它们被称为增长“曲线”。虽然在整个生长期内计算的给定猪组的总采食量提供了一个有用的参考点，可以与其他猪组进行比较，但它无法生成饲料消耗的时间过程，这对于精确的饮食配方至关重要。图1所示的三条采食量曲线很好地证明了这一点。
Feed intake, viewed as a continuum from birth through marketing, is best described by a curvilinear function. It is not a straight line. That is why they are referred to as growth “curves.” While total feed intake for a given group of pigs, calculated over the total growout period, provides a useful reference point against which other groups of pigs can be compared, it fails to generate the time course of feed consumption, which is essential to precise diet formulation. The three feed intake curves, illustrated in Figure 1, demonstrate the point very well.
