Effects of Alpha-Ketoglutarate Supplementation on Growth Performance, Diarrhea Incidence, Plasma Amino Acid, and Nutrient Digestibility in Weaned Piglets

Alpha-ketoglutaric acid (AKG) is a key intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and plays a crucial role in energy production and amino acid metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of AKG on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, plasma biochemical parameters, and plasma amino...
