【摘 要】Abstract Background: There is large variation in amino acids requirements among pigs,hence feeding pigs individually with daily tailored diets or in groups with a single feed may require different levels of nutrients.Thus, the response to different threonine levels (70%, 85%, 100%, 115%, and 130% of the ideal threonine:lysine protein ratio of 0.65) was studied in growing pigs raised in a conventional group phase-feeding (GPF) system or fed individually using individual precision-feeding (IPF) techniques. In a 21-day trial, 110 barrows (25±0.80 kg body weight) were housed in the same room and fed using electronic feeders.Five pigs per treatment were slaughtered at the end of the trial.Results: Threonine intake increased linearly for the IPF and GPF pigs (P<0.05). Lysine intake was similar across the treatments.Average daily gain,gain:feed ratio,and protein deposition were affected linearly by threonine level(P<0.05)in both feeding systems. Protein deposition in the GPF pigs was maximized at 150 g/d and a 0.65 threonine:lysine ratio, whereas protein

deposition increased linearly in the IPF pigs. Plasma Met and serine levels were 11 and 7% higher, respectively, in the IPF pigs than in the GPF pigs (P<0.05). Dietary threonine increased (P<0.05)threonine concentration in the longissimus dorsi in a quadratic manner in the IPF pigs, whereas there was no effect in the GPF pigs.Longissimus dorsi collagen decreased as dietary threonine increased in the IPF and GPF pigs(P<0.10).Carcass muscle crude protein was 2%higher in the GPF pigs than in the IPF

pigs(P<0.05).Conclusions:Individual pigs are able to modulate growth and the composition of growth according to threonine intake.The average amino acid ratio value that is currently used for GPF cannot be used for IPF.【期刊名称】《畜牧与生物技术杂志(英文版)》【年(卷),期】2024(010)003【总页数】17
