Lowering the Dietary Crude Protein Content Whilst Maintaining Standardized Ileal Digestible Lysine to Crude Protein Ratios Improves Growth and Reduces Diarrhoea in Weaner Pigs

Lowering the Dietary Crude Protein Content Whilst Maintaining Standardized Ileal Digestible Lysine to Crude Protein Ratios Improves Growth and Reduces Diarrhoea in Weaner Pigs

The use of lower crude protein (CP) diets immediately after weaning has long been associated with reduced post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD). However, failing to maintain an appropriate standardized ileal digestible lysine ratio (SID: Lys) may outweigh the benefits in improving PWD outcomes. In this exper...
