SID lysine requirement for high lean weanling pigs

A new study on the standardised ileal digestible (SID) lysine requirement for high lean weanling pigs confirms the industry recommendations. The mean standardised ileal digestible (SID) lysine requirement for 7-15 kg weanling pigs of the high-lean genetic line fed corn-soybean meal-based diets to optimise body weight gain and gain to feed ratio is 1.42%. This is the conclusion of a study conducted at the experimental pig farm of the University of Manitoba in Canada. In recent years, SID lysine
