Abstract excerpt

This study tested the hypothesis that the effect of lysine intake, if first-limiting, on protein retention in growing pigs is completely independent of the effects of energy intake, differences in the protein retention capacity among genotypes and gender, and body weight. Protein retention, using the nitrogen balance technique, was measured in 12 castrated male German Landrace and Pietrain pigs at 44 and 77 kg of...
