Increasing standardized ileal digestible arginine to lysine ratio increases growth performance with limited effects on measured gut functions in 8.5- to 12-kg pigs

Abstract Limited Arg availability may impact growth performance in the early post-weaning period. Arginine, in addition to its main role as a building block for protein, is a substrate for nitric oxide production and polyamines, which could have implications for gut functionality in nursery pigs. The objective of this...
