Improving the amino acid (AA) profile of the diet by using l-Lys, l-Thr, dl-Met, l-Trp and l-Val helps to reduce the dietary CP content, thereby reducing nitrogen excretion while maintaining the performance of pigs. Valine is the fifth limiting AA in cereal-soybean meal-based diets. The extent to which the CP content in the diet can be reduced furt...

Most studies concerning the Ile requirement in pigs have been carried out using blood products as a protein source, and these have a relatively low Ile content relative to the other branched-chain AA (BCAA). There are indications that an excess supply of one BCAA can affect the utilization of the other BCAA. Little information is available concerni...

The branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) Ile and Val are potentially limiting amino acids for growth in pigs. Although reports exist concerning the Ile requirement, results seem to vary with the BCAA content of the diet. The purpose of this study was to determine the response of piglets to L-Ile supplementation under different dietary conditions. Four...
