The effects of length of feeding, dietary electrolyte balance, and energy source on ileal endogenous amino acid losses in pigs fed nitrogen-free diets

An abstract of a study by Adedokun et al investigating the effect of dietary factors on ileal endogenous AA (EAA) losses in pigs fed a N-free diet (NFD) is presented. The effect of length of feeding was most pronounced for Pro, where endogenous loss increased by 82% with increasing length of feeding...

Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Adedokun et al investigating the effect of dietary factors on ileal endogenous AA (EAA) losses in pigs fed a N-free diet (NFD) is presented. The effect of length of feeding was most pronounced for Pro, where endogenous loss increased by 82% with increasing length of feeding. Finally, dextrose resulted in higher EAA loss and the length of feeding of the NFD could be reduced to 3 to 4 d without any significant effects on losses compared with when the diet is fed for 6 to 7 d.
