The results are in agreement with earlier observations, dietary energy source affects the postprandial plasma insulin levels in mature gilts, when their diet is given in a twice-daily feeding regimes. Additionally a similar effect was observed in prepubertal gilts, when their diet was given in three but not four equal portions. However, three times-daily feeding increased insulin concentrations in blood samples during a 25 day feeding period had no significant effect on ovarian and follicular development in prepubertal gilts of the Polish Landrace breed
