Lysine requirement of weaned piglets by S. Goethals, P. Bikker, J.H.M. Rijpert, B. Ampe, J.W. Spek, S. Millet

“…Breakpoint estimation from the linear-plateau models was inconclusive, indicating that the optimal SID lysine requirement to maximise piglet growth performance likely exceeded the upper lysine levels tested in most studies, thus surpassing 1.3 g SID lysine per MJ net energy. This review indicates high values for the lysine requirement to achieve maximum growth performance. …”
