Productive and physiological implications of top-dress addition of branched-chain amino acids and arginine on lactating sows and offspring

Abstract Background Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), including L-leucine (L-Leu), L-isoleucine (L-Ile), L-valine (L-Val), and L-arginine (L-Arg), play a crucial role in mammary gland development, secretion of milk and regulation of the catabolic state and immune response of lactating sows.
