Postprandial plasma amino acid and metabolite kinetics of adult and growing pigs fed a diet with a balanced or unbalanced amino acid profile

Feeding diets with an unbalanced amino acid (AA) profile can reduce the postprandial AA utilization for protein synthesis. Growing pigs use dietary AA mainly for protein accretion, whereas non-lactating and non-pregnant adult pigs use AA mainly for maintenance. The requirement for AA for growth is m...
