Background and objectives: It was hypothesized that not only the extent of protein digestibility at the end of the ileum influences pig performance and risk for post-weaning diarrhea (PWD), but rate of protein digestion also influences performance and gut-health post-wean. Therefore, a 2-step in vitro assay that simulated nursery pig gastric and small intestinal protein digestion over-time was dev ...
