| 4 | Estimation of endogenous protein and amino acid ileal losses in weaned piglets by regression analysis using diets with graded levels of casein显示文摘Background: Many studies have investigated endogenous loss of proteins and amino acids(AAs) at the ileal level in growing pigs. However, only a few studies have researched this subject in piglets. Knowledge regarding AA ileal digestibility in piglets would be helpful during the formulation of diets for weaning piglets, rather than just using coefficients obtained in growing pigs. Therefore, in this study, we sought to estimate endogenous protein and AA ileal losses in piglets. Furthermore, apparent and true ileal digestibility(AID and TID) of protein and AAs from casein were measured.Results: The average flow of protein was 20.8 g/kg of dry matter intake(DMI). Basal protein loss, as estimated by regression, was 16.9 g/kg DMI. Glutamic acid, arginine, and aspartic acid(2.2, 1.4, and 1.2 g/kg DMI, respectively)were the AAs for which greater losses were seen. The AID of protein and AAs increased as the protein level in the diet increased. A higher increment in AID was observed between diets with 80 and160 g CP/kg of feed; this finding was mainly attributable to increases in glycine and arginine(46.1% and 18%, respectively). The TID of protein was97.8, and the TID of AAs varied from 93.9 for histidine to 100.2 for phenylalanine.Conclusions: The basal endogenous protein loss in piglets was 16.9 g/kg DMI. Endogenous protein was rich in glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and arginine, which represented 32.7% of endogenous protein loss in weaning piglets.The TID of casein was high and varied from 93.0 for histidine to 100.2 for phenylalanine. | Tércia Cesária Reis de Souza Araceli Aguilera Barreyro Gerardo Mariscal-Landín | 2014 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2014，5，1： | 0 |
