Popis: An experiment was conducted to examine the effect of a high environmental temperature on the performance, conformation, and carcass characteristics of pigs and the influence of diet. Thirty-six Three-way crossed castrated male pigs with average initial body weight of 50.4 kg were used in the experiment. The pig were allocated to the following treatments: two environmental temperatures (20 and 30 deg C) X three dietary energy levels (2,980, 3,300 and 3,600 kcal/kg)xthree protein levels (12.8, 15.2 and17.2%). Daily weight gain was tighter (p
