Impact of Peas (<i>Pisum Sativum</i> L.) as a Sustainable Source of Protein in Growing Pigs’ Diets on Production Efficiency, Nitrogen Metabolism and Gastrointestinal Tract Health

Impact of Peas (<i>Pisum Sativum</i> L.) as a Sustainable Source of Protein in Growing Pigs’ Diets on Production Efficiency, Nitrogen Metabolism and Gastrointestinal Tract Health

This pilot study evaluated the effects of dietary pea inclusion as a sustainable and nutritional alternative protein source on growth performance, nitrogen balance, digestibility, and intestinal health on nine castrated male Topigs hybrid pigs (three pigs/group), with an initial average weight of 20...
