This study was conducted to evaluate levels of digestible lysine for pigs at 30 to 60 kg kept under heat stress. It was used 70 castrated animals kept in environment at 30ºC and others 70 kept at 34ºC, distributed in a randomized block design, with five treatments (0.83, 0.93, 1.03, 1.13 and 1.23% digestible lysine), and seven repetitions with two animals per experimental unit. The daily weight gain of the animals kept at 30ºC increased up to 1.04% of digestible […]
