AB  - The experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of 
  different feed flavors on feed intake and intake behavior in growing pigs under 
  auto feeding system. A total of 30 barrows (Landrace x Yorkshire) of 95 days 
  old were selected and allocated to 1 of 5 treatments by BW for this 14 days 
  experiment. There were 6 replicates in each treatment and 1 pig in each replicate. 
  Diets containing: CON, the basal diet; BF, CON + 400 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP> banana 
  flavor; MF, CON + 400 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP> sow milky flavor; SF, CON + 150 mg 
  kg<SUP>-1</SUP> sweetener and BMS, CON + 400 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP> banana flavor 
  + 400 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP> milky flavor + 150 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP> sweetener. The 
  ADFI in BF, MF, SF and BMS complex group was enhanced compared to the CON, respectively. 
  The ADG and feed efficiency was respectively increased (p&lt;0.05) related to 
  the control treatment. The feed intake speeds and feed intake time of fruit, 
  milky, sweetener and complex group were increased (p&lt;0.05) than control. 
  The results indicated that feed flavors affect feed intake behavior by elevating 
  the feed intake speed and reducing the time of feed intake to enhance the feed 
  intake of growing pigs and no difference was found between the three flavors.
