Weanling pigs, 192 from 2 separate trials, initial weight 6.0 and 5.6 kg, and 400 growing finishing pigs, initial weight 17 kg, were fed on normal and high lysine maize diets containing 4 levels of lysine in a 2 X 4 factorial arrangement. Crossbred (Large White X Landrace X Duroc) pigs were used in all experiments. All diets were balanced on a lysine basis. The results indicated that weanling and growing finishing pig performance and final carcass composition were similar for pigs fed on normal or high lysine maize diets balanced on a lysine basis. Weanling pigs from 5 to 14 kg required at least 1.10% lysine. Based on changes in bodyweight gain and feed
