The conceptual analysis of a dynamic mathematical model for the estimation of the amino acid requirements for pigs from weaning to maturity

Abstract

dc:description

A deterministic model for the prediction of amino acid requirements of growing pigs was developed. Comparisons between model outputs and literature values indicated that the model adequately predicts amino acid requirements. During the development of the model, limitations in the literature were identified. Therefore, the following experiments were conducted to provide needed components of the model.
