Abstract
Ninety-six crossbred pigs were fed diets containing high-protein (16%) and high-lysine (.66%) oats at levels of 0, 20, 40 and 60% of the grain in the diet with all diets equalized in lysine content. There were no significant differences in rate of gain or efficiency of feed utilization among treatments. It was concluded that the lysine availability in high-protein oats was not a limiting factor to the growing-finishing pig and that high-protein oats could reduce supplementary protein needed in growing-finishing swine diets.
