    The document summarizes an experiment to determine the best food for pigs to gain weight. Pigs were divided into three groups - a control group fed a standard feed and two test groups fed either a high-protein or high-energy feed. The pigs were weighed regularly over 8 weeks. Results showed pigs fed the high-protein feed gained the most weight, averaging a 15kg increase, followed by the high-energy feed group with a 12kg gain, while the control group gained an average of 8kg. It was concluded that a high-protein feed is most effective at promoting pig weight gain.

    The case of Beth Taylor

    Observations  Pigs need a balanced diet to ensure proper growth and weight
    gain.
     Different types of feed options are available in the market for
    pigs.
     Feed composition and quality can impact the weight gain of
    pigs.
    Question “What is the best food for pigs to help them gain weight?”
    Hypothesis If pigs are provided with a balanced feed containing a combination of
    high-quality protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, then they
    will experience enhanced weight gain compared to other feed options.
    Steps in Experiment Sample Selection:
    Select a representative sample of pigs with similar ages, breeds, and
    health conditions.
    Ensure an equal number of pigs in each group.

    Group Formation:
    Divide the pigs into three groups: A, B, and C.

    Group A (Control Group): Provide pigs with a standard feed commonly


    used for pigs.
    Group B: Provide pigs with feed that is high in protein content.
    Group C: Provide pigs with feed that is high in energy content.

    Feeding and Monitoring:


    Feed the pigs according to their respective groups for a specified
    duration.
    Weigh the pigs at the beginning of the experiment and regularly
    monitor their weight throughout the experiment.
    Record the weight of each pig in a tabular form.

    Presentation and Analysis Pig Number Group Initial Weight Weight


    of the data (tabular form) Weight (kg) after 4 after 8
    weeks (kg) weeks (kg)
    1 A 30 35 39
    2 A 32 37 41
    3 A 28 34 38
    4 A 31 36 40
    1 B 29 38 45
    2 B 33 40 48
    3 B 27 36 43
    4 B 30 39 46
    1 C 31 37 43
    2 C 34 39 45
    3 C 28 36 42
    4 C 32 38 44
    Draw conclusion Based on the analysis of the collected data, we can draw the following
    conclusions:
    Group A (Control Group): Pigs fed with the standard feed experienced
    moderate weight gain over the 8-week period, with an average increase
    of 8 kilograms.
    Group B: Pigs fed with a feed high in protein content exhibited
    significantly better weight gain compared to the control group, showing
    an average increase of 15 kilograms over the 8-week period.
    Group C: Pigs fed with a feed high in energy content also demonstrated
    improved weight gain, with an average increase of 12 kilograms over
    the 8-week period.

    Based on these results, it can be concluded that providing pigs with a


    feed high in protein content (Group B) led to the greatest weight gain,
    followed by the feed high in energy content (Group C), while the control
    group (Group A) showed the least weight gain.

    Therefore, selecting a feed with a higher protein content would be


    more effective in promoting weight gain in her pigs.
