Abstract:

More information is needed on the optimum level of protein in sorghum grain-soybean meal rations for swine. Theoretically the protein value of a swine ration should be improved if the most limiting amino acids are added. This experiment was conducted to determine the most favorable level of protein in sorghum grain-soybean meal rations and the effect of added lysine and methionine.
