A moderate inflammation caused by the deterioration of housing conditions modifies Trp metabolism but not Trp requirement for growth of post-weaned piglets
Deterioration of the environment in which piglets are housed after weaning induces a moderate inflammatory response and modifies tryptophan (Trp) metabolism that can, in turn, decrease Trp availability for growth. We hypothesised that a Trp supply above the current recommendations may be required to...
