Brief Project Summary:

Least cost diet formulations have become a normal method of primary diet formulation in the swine industry. Many producers have elected to move forward with changes to ingredients without supportive research in all stages of production. This research investigates the effect of variable soybean inclusion rates, as compared to standard synthetic amino acids, for protein balance fed during late gestation on sow and litter performance at farrowing.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents, livestock farmers, swine industry
