Piglets have a lower amino acid digestibility

Piglets have a lower average standardised ileal digestibility (SID) than their older counterparts. In fact, SID for crude protein and amino acids is different per age group in pigs. That, in short, was the result of a recent meta-analysis by researchers from the University of Illinois, United States, and Hamlet Protein, Denmark. In a recent abstract presentation, the researchers highlight that ileal digestibility of crude protein (CP) and amino acids in piglets ( Digestibility of crude protein
