217 Comparative Effects of Dietary Methionine and Cysteine Supplementation on Redox Status and Intestinal Integrity in Immunologically Challenged-weaned Pigs
Abstract:The aim was to investigate the effects of dietary Met and Cys supplementation in immunologically challenged-weaned pigs. Forty weaned piglets (6.51 ± 0.29 kg) were randomly allocated to five treatments and fed the assigned diets for 9 days. The treatments included: (1) sham-challenged control (SCC), (2) challenged control (CC), (3) MET (CC + 0.1% DL-Met supplementation), (4) CYS (CC + 0.1% L-Cys supplementation), and (5) MET+CYS (CC + 0.1% DL-Met and 0.1% L-Cys supplementation). Piglets were intramuscularly in… Show more
