The Optimal Threonine:lysine Ratio to Maximize Growth Performance of Nursery Pigs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A total of 210 pigs (initially 18.2 lb and 25 d of age) were used in a 21-d growth assay. The seven treatments consisted of a basal diet (14.1% CP) with increasing levels of threonine (45, 50, 55, 60, 65, and 70% of 1.07% apparent digestible lysine) and a negative control containing 0.97% lysine. Increasing dietary threonine improved feed efficiency; however, there was no improvement in growth performance between pigs fed 0.97 and 1.07% apparent digestible lysine. Therefore, these results suggest the requirement for apparent digestible threonine is approximately 60% of lysine for 18to 40lb pigs.

A total of 210 nursery pigs (initially 19.6 lb and approximately 28 d of age) were used in a 21-d growth assay to determine the optimal ratio of valine to lysine to maximize growth performance. The seven treatments consisted of a basal diet (14.2% CP; 1.07% apparent digestible lysine) with increasing ratios of valine:lysine (48, 53, 58, 63, 69, and 74%) and a negative control containing 0.97% l...

A total of 360 pigs (initially 22.2 lb and 31 d of age) was used in a 21-d growth assay. This trial was conducted as a combination of two separate trials in order to simultaneously examine both the true ileal digestible lysine and true ileal digestible threonine requirement and determine the appropriate threonine:lysine ratio. The first part of the trial consisted of five treatments with increa...
متن کاملMitigating DON Through Optimal Use of Blood Plasma in Nursery Diets
Previous research showed that nursery pigs fed deoxynivalenol (DON) contaminated diets supplemented with spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) had similar growth rate and feed intake as those consuming noncontaminated diets. In this study, two blocks of 100 weanling pigs were used to determine the optimal inclusion level of spray-dried bovine plasma(SDBP) required in nursery diets contaminated with...

and ADFI at week 4 (P = 0.02). During phase 2 (week 3 to 4), greater ADG (P = 0.05) and ADFI (P = 0.004) were observed in pigs consuming a diet containing DDGS (Treatments B and D) compared to pigs that did not receive DDGS in phase 1 (Treatments A and C); however, G:F ratio was not affected by DDGS. There was a lactose effect on ADG in week 3 (P = 0.05) and a trend of lactose effect on ADG dur...
متن کاملEffect of B-vitamin Supplementation on Nursery Pig Growth Performance
A 35-d growth assay was conducted to determine the effect of added dietary Bvitamins on growth performance of nursery pigs (12.9 lb initial BW). The basal diet (Phase I, 1.5% lysine; Phase II, 1.3% lysine) was formulated to contain no added Bvitamins. The other treatment diets were formed by adding a B-vitamin premix (biotin, folacin, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, thiamin, B6, and B12) ...
