Effects of dietary threonine:lysine ratioes and sanitary conditions on performance, plasma urea nitrogen, plasma-free threonine and lysine of weaned pigs

Two 21 d-experiments were conducted to determine the optimum standardized ileal digestible (SID) threonine:lysine ratio (Thr:Lys) for weaned piglets reared under clean (Exp. 1) or unclean (Exp. 2) sanitary conditions and fed antibiotic-free diets. In each experiment, 90 mixed-sex pigs (Duroc × [York...
