Precision feeding can significantly reduce lysine intake and nitrogen excretion without compromising the performance of growing pigs

Precision feeding can significantly reduce lysine intake and nitrogen excretion without compromising the performance of growing pigs

This study was developed to assess the impact on performance, nutrient balance, serum parameters and feeding costs resulting from the switching of conventional to precision-feeding programs for growing–finishing pigs. A total of 70 pigs (30.4±2.2 kg BW) were used in a performance trial (84 days). Th...
