Effects of Normal Corn, Normal Corn Plus Lysine and Opaque-2 Corn Diets on Serum Protein and Reproductive Performance of Gravid Swine

Abstract
Three successive experiments including a total of 111 litters were conducted to evaluate vitamin and mineral fortified diets of normal corn, normal corn plus 0.2% L-lysine, opaque-2 corn and a control corn-soybean meal diet for gestating gilts and sows. The gestation weight gain increased (P<.01) as the lysine and protein contents of the diets increased. Dam weight at weaning was similar for all groups. Copyright © 1972.
