  • Title: The role of feed protein quality in reducing environmental pollution by lowering nitrogen excretion. III. Strategies of feeding: a review.

    Journal: Acta Vet Hung; 1996; 44(2):153-63. PubMed ID: 8908738.
    Abstract:
    To meet the requirements of pigs a better supply of amino acids can be achieved by using ileal digestibility data of feed ingredients in least-cost feed formulation. Digestibility of amino acids can be improved by addition of multienzyme products, antimicrobial additives and probiotics. Protein accretion may be positively influenced by beta-adrenergic agonists. An adequate ratio of protein to dietary energy is essential to achieve optimal protein utilization. Nitrogen output can be minimized by improving feed efficiency and by eliminating antinutritional substances with adequate processing. The use of the ideal protein concept helps to minimize nitrogen excretion. Management and animal hygiene also have a significant impact on the overall nitrogen balance in animal production.
