Experimental data from low nitrogen and phosphorus diets (Carter et al, 1999, 2000, 2003) are being used to validate and/or modify the NRC swine growth model. A profit maximizing daily growth model that considers feed costs, excretion, waste management costs, and length of feeding period is being developed.Livestock Production/Industries,
