High dietary protein can potentially increase susceptibility of weaned pigs to enteric pathogens; it has been hypothesized that dietary supplementation with functional amino acids may improve growth performance of pigs during disease challenge. A recent study, published in the...
Abstract
The first nonmilk foods that are given to infants contain high levels of starch, a fraction of which is resistant to enzyme hydrolysis. Incomplete digestion of starch may interfere with the absorption of certain minerals. A fraction of dietary...
In order to be competitive in the pork industry, producers need to have a firm grasp of their cost of production. Since feed costs represent a large proportion of the total cost of production, they offer producers the greatest...
