Restriction of feed and/or amino on pigs feeding behavior of group-housed growing pigs
Feed and/or dietary amino acid restriction affects feeding behaviour and voluntary feed intake in growing pigs.

Use of digestible rather than total amino acid affects nitrogen balance in pigs
The use of digestible rather than total amino acid in diet formulation clearly improve N retention and reduces N excretion.
Evaluating low-protein diets for heavy pigs on quality characteristics of dry-cured ham
Environmental impact of heavy pig may be reduced by lowering CP content diets with balanced AA profile without affection ham quality.
Energy and lysine requirements of sows during transition and lactation
The SID Lys:ME ratio during lactation depends on a milk yield and the body weight of the sow.
Composition of longissimus muscle in late-stage finishing pigs is lysine dependent
Lysine deficient diets at the end of the fattening period may promote intramuscular fat deposition affecting fatty acid composition.
Arginine and amino acids supplementation in gestating gilts
Arginine and other amino supplementation in gestating gilts improve farrowing and litter performance in low prolificity sows (≤14 total piglets born).
Arginine supplementation during lactation affects sow metabolism and improve litter performance
Sow metabolism during lactation is affected by arginine supplementation promoting litter weigh improvement.
Use of digestible rather than total amino acid in diet formulation increases nitrogen retention and reduces nitrogen excretion from pigs
One of the goals of swine diet formulation is minimizing nitrogen (N) excretion as well as maximizing N retention.
Effect of heat stress on amino acid digestibility in pigs
Pigs exposed to heat stress increase their body temperature and reduce the size of their intestinal villi, thus increasing the loss of endogenous AAs and reducing the abundance of AA transporters in the intestine, as well as apparent and standardized ileal digestibility of AAs.
Dietary tryptophan: lysine ratio affects reproductive performance of lactating sows
The optimal Trp:Lys ratio for modern sows during lactation ranges between 0.22 and 0.26.
Amino acid digestibility of novel protein sources for growing pigs
Pea protein isolate has higher AA digestibility than high protein sunflower meal for growing pigs.
The importance of dietary protein and Amino Acids after weaning
There is a widespread trend throughout Europe to decrease the protein levels in feeds, together with an adequate supplementation of industrial amino acids.
L-glutamine affects piglet performance, immunity and intestinal health after weaning
L-glutamine supplementation improves intestinal health, nutrient digestibility and performance in weanling pigs.
Precision feeding can significantly reduce lysine intake and nitrogen excretion without compromising the performance of growing pigs
Precision feeding is an effective approach to make pig production more sustainable without compromising growth performance.
Progressive reductions in crude protein and indispensable amino acids on carcass quality and uniformity of heavy pigs
In terms of carcass quality, crude protein and essential amino acids could be reduced in finishing diets.
Assessment of bioavailability of dl-methionine compared with l-methionine fed to nursery pigs
No different bioavalilability is observed between dl-Met and l-Met for piglets.
