Predicting Lysine Requirements Using Protein And Lipid Accretion Curves For Growing-Finishing Barrows (1999), M De La Llata, Michael D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Jim L. Nelssen, Steven S. Dritz
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of240 growing-finishing barrows (75 to 260 lb) were used to model accretion rates and the lysine:calorie ratio requirement based on lipid and protein content data obtained with a real-time ultrasound. Barrows were fed eight different diets consisting of four increasing lysine:calorie ratios and two levels of fat (0 and 6%). The modeled accretion rates effectively predicted the differences between treatments in agreement with the actual data. The modeled lysine:calorie ratio requirement accurately predicted the lysine:calorie ratios that maximized growth, evaluated by either the predicted or the actual data. Lipid and protein deposition rates were used to effectively model …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of240 growing-finishing gilts (60 to 260 lb) was used to model accretion rates and the lysine:calorie ratio requirement based on lipid and protein growth. Real-time ultrasound measurements were used to estimate lipid and protein contents. These estimates then were translated into feed intake and lysine requirements. Gilts were fed one of eight different diet regimens, consisting of four increasing lysine:calorie ratios and two levels of fat (0 and 6%). Lipid and protein deposition rates could effectively model feed intake when pigs were fed lysine:calorie ratios close to their requirement. The modeled accretion rates effectively predicted the differences between …
