Abstract: -It was evaluated the effects of metabolizable energy (ME) and digestible lysine (dLYS) densities on performance and body composition of weaned piglets. The study used 114 piglets weaned at 7.4 ± 0.80 kg, out of which 108 were allotted in the nursery and 6 were slaughtered on the weaning day to determine comparative data of body chemical composition. Six nutrients densities were stipulated from a previous study based on the highest nitrogen retention, maintaining the following ME:LYS relationship in the experi… Show more

“…As the energy intake is the main factor that limit the nutrient intake in weaning piglets, the starter diet is usually concentrated in energy and amino acid to guarantee a better growth performance and allow the maximum protein deposition. Besides, there is an ideal Lys to energy ratio that must be kept to allow a proper protein deposition (8,9) . Nevertheless, previous studies did not show any performance improvement when dietary energy density was increased (10)(11)(12) , but greater body fat deposition was observed (12) .…”
