Conclusions
The results of this study showed that the nitrogen retention was not different among pigs when receiving a Met-deficient diet supplemented with either MetAMINO® or MHA-Ca at a ratio of 65:100...

Introduction
The β-agonist ractopamine (RAC) is a dietary ingredient used in diets for finishing pigs to redirect nutrients to protein accretion that would otherwise go to the synthesis and deposition of ...

Conclusion
Results of this study showed that the supplementation of CreAMINO® at 0.12% significantly improved the growth performance of pigs from starter to finisher stage.
Lean mean yield was also sign...

CONCLUSIONS
Supplementation of 0.12 % CreAMINO® in finisher pigs diet 60 days before slaughter improved weight gain, FCR, lean meat yield by 4.30 %, 4.19 % and 2.20 %, respectively, compared with the con...
