Prediction of basal endogenous losses of amino acids based on body weight and feed intake in pigs fed nitrogen-free diets
Background: accurate estimations of basal endogenous losses (BEL) of amino acids (AA) are important for the calculation of standardized ileal digestibility values. Objectives: to address the influence of body weight (BW) and feed intake on BEL of crude protein (CP) and AA and to develop prediction e...
