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 T2 - Journal of Animal Science ER -
