Effect of increasing dietary isoacid levels on total tract and apparent ileal nutrient digestibility and fermentation products in growing pigs fed corn-soybean meal diets

Effect of increasing dietary isoacid levels on total tract and apparent ileal nutrient digestibility and fermentation products in growing pigs fed corn-soybean meal diets

Abstract Background Isoacids are the product of branched-chain amino acid fermentation and are naturally produced in the hindgut by microbial fermentation. In ruminants, supplementation of isoacids as a feed additive improves fiber utilization, with a positive impact on animal productivity. However,...
