Effects of sex and dietary lysine on performances and serum and meat traits in finisher pigs
Dietary Lys restriction during finisher period in pigs impaired growth performances and was not successful to increase the carcass fat deposition, although it could have positive effects on the intramuscular fat proportion of pork.

Low-protein diets with balances amino acid profile decrease ETEC colonization in jejunal mucosa.
Phase feeding of sows in gestation
The nutrient requirements of the sow change during gestation and the feed provision must meet this demand; hence the need for phase feeding.
Tryptophan requirement of pregnant sows
Tryptophan requirement of pregnant sows increases from 1.7 g/d in early to 2.6 g/d in late pregnancy.
Precision feeding can reduce amino acid requirements of growing pigs by more than 25%
Feeding growing-finishing pigs with daily tailored diets using precision feeding techniques is an effective approach to reduce nutrient excretion, without compromising pig performance or carcass composition
Dietary crude protein reduction and AA supplementation affects tissue fatty acid composition in pigs
Fatty acid composition of pork lean and fat may be altered by reducing dietary CP and supplementing AA.
Effect of susceptibility to ETEC and of dietary Trp on gut microbiota diversity observed in healthy young pigs
An Italian study investigated the intestinal bacterial diversity of healthy pigs with different susceptibility to ETEC and fed different Trp levels.

Xylanase reduce gaseous emissions and can moderate the odorous impact of pig manure.
Nutrition to attenuate performance loss caused by activation of immune system in the commercial production system
Pigs in a commercial environment are consistently exposed to (sub) clinical infections and stressors, and systemic responses to such challenges significantly reduce the growth potential of modern pigs.
