Key information
Amino acids are involved in various important metabolic pathways beyond growth, including modulating the functioning of the body’s immune system.
During a condition of sub-clinical dis...

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...

Conclusions
Reducing the dietary crude protein (CP) level and balancing with supplemental amino acids (AA) maintained optimal performance and carcass quality of growing-finishing pigs compared with feeding h...

Introduction
Protein deposition corresponds to the positive balance between protein synthesis and breakdown (Metayer et al., 2008). In an effort to maximize the protein deposition and optimize nutrient utiliza...
