ResumoA growth curve for suckling Duroc pigs raised under drylot conditions is presented. The birth and weekly live weights up to weaning at 8 weeks of age of 1296 pigs were used. The correlation of 0.46 between weaning weight and birth weight was highly significant (P=0.01). On the average, a difference of 1 pound in weight at birth was accompanied by 7.78 pounds difference at weaning (56 days).
