The effects of different dietary crude protein level on faecal crude protein and amino acid flow and digestibility in growing pigs

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary crude protein (CP) level on faecal CP and amino acid (AA) flow and digestibility, faecal and ileal digesta microbial AA composition. Eighteen Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire barrows (60 ± 1.43 kg) were randomly divided into 3 groups with 6 bar...

Description
Summary:This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary crude protein (CP) level on faecal CP and amino acid (AA) flow and digestibility, faecal and ileal digesta microbial AA composition. Eighteen Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire barrows (60 ± 1.43 kg) were randomly divided into 3 groups with 6 barrows in each, and fed a maize-soybean meal diet at the 10% (L-CP), 13% (M-CP) and 16% (H-CP) CP levels. The results indicated the faecal total N, CP, total AA (TAA) flow increased linearly (P
