Author(s): A. C Edwards
This series of trials was conducted on several sites across Australia attempting to determine the optimum lysine requirements of finisher pigs. The trial involved feeding a range of lysine levels in isocaloric diets and monitoring daily gain, FCR and carcass yields. The requirement varied across the 3 live weight ranges tested (approximately 60 – 75, 75 – 90, 90 – 105 kg) and best estimates of requirements were nominated to be 0.64, 0.58 and 0.52 gm Avail. Lysine/MJ DE for the respective phases based on ADG, FCR, carcass gain and profitability (IMFC).
