Popis: After lysine, methionine/cysteine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine it is not clear which essential amino acid becomes limiting in low protein diets for post weaning piglets. This is related to a scarcity of information on requirement for other essential amino acids in piglets. Isoleucine, leucine and histidine are among the candidates to be the next limiting amino acid (Chung and Baker, 1992; Barea et al., 2009). The aim of the present study was to identify the next limiting amino acid after lysine, methionine/cysteine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine in diets for post weaning piglets in a performance study over a period of 4 weeks in the post-weaning period.
