Influence of different cannulation techniques on the pre-caecal digestibility of protein, amino acids and cell wall constituents from diets, containing different protein meals, in pigs

Nutrient digestibility response to graded dietary levels of sodium chloride in weanling pigs

“…The diets were fed twice daily (08:30 and 16:00) at a level close to ad libitum (5% BW day −1 ). The experiment was carried out over 14 days, comprising a 10 day dietary adaptation period and a 4 day sample collection period 10…”

Acanthopanax senticosus extract as a dietary additive enhances the apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids in weaned piglets

“…The pre-and post-operative care was previously described in detail by Yin et al (1991). The cannulas were prepared from Tygon tubing (Norton Performance Plastics, Wayne, NJ).…”

Pig production in subtropical agriculture

“…The daily gain and feed/gain ratio of pigs fed a diet that was formulated based on the data of amino acids ileum true digestibility were improved by 20% and 15%, respectively. Furthermore, the excretion of N and P in manure was reduced by 15–30% compared to feed formulated by the total amino acid and P requirement system 41…”

“…It has been well established that microflora in the large intestine ferment undigested dietary protein residues to yield products with no nutritional value to the pig; this has led to the view that it is better to estimate digestible ileal amino acids in the terminal ileum than in faeces 41, 42. Based on this notion, the ileal apparent and true digestibility coefficients of amino acids and crude protein in 40 feedstuffs for growing pigs were systemically estimated by Yin et al 43, 44 we also have established a new more comprehensive database of the true digestibility of amino acids and P for growing pigs.…”
