ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effects of lysine (Lys) restriction on compensatory growth, body composition, and nitrogen balance of growing-finishing pigs before and after immunocastration. Sixty-four entire male pigs (39.2 ± 6.8 kg) were randomly assigned one of four treatments: Control diet (CON; no restriction) or diets with restriction of Lys level in 14 (Lys-14), 28 (Lys-28) and 42% (Lys-42) of estimated Lys requirements for entire growing pigs (Lys restriction phase, from 0 to 28 d). From 29 […]
