Evaluation of a copper lysine complex and copper sulfate in weanling and finishing pigs, and the effect of copper supplementation on circulating growth hormone and IGF-1 levels
The objectives of this research were 1) to evaluate CuS0₄ and a CU lysine complex (CuLys) as growth promotants for weanling pigs, 2) to assess the effects of feeding growth stimulating levels of Cu from both sources on dry matter digestibility (DMO) and mineral balance of finishing pigs, and 3) to e...
