Abstract excerpt
The effects on compositional changes across the growing-finishing period (40-115 kg) of feeding pig diets with different protein and amino acid levels were investigated using CT scanning (at 60, 85 and 115 kg live weight). Pigs of a lean commercial genotype were fed a commercial control regime (C), or a low protein regime with either high (LP1) or low (LP2) essential amino acid levels, all balanced for net...
