A few items that we consider in formulating diets for these experiments. We make sure we are below the lysine requirement by conducting lysine titration trials in the same facility with same pigs prior to doing the ratio studies. We formulate to a maximum SID Lys:CP ratio to provide enough nitrogen for synthesis of nonessential amino acids and add non-essential amino acids (glycine and glutamine) ...

This research indicates that the reason for increased stillbirths was increased ruptured umbilical cords leading to compromise of the ...
