摘要: The objective of this experiment was to determine if increasing lysine in the diets immu- nologically castrated (IC) male pigs would increase per- centage fat free lean and carcass cutting yields when compared with physical castrates. anti-gonado- tropin-releasing factor (GnRF) immunological product (Improvest, Pfizer Animal Health) is used worldwide immunologically castrate entire control boar taint take advantage inherent ability deposit more muscle, less fat, grow efficiently than physically males. immunization process essentially allows pig as an for most its life then removes any odor (boar taint) before slaughter. Reported meat advantages may also provide eco- nomic benefits domestic industry. Approxi- mately 1,200 (physical castrates, IC males, males) were each assigned 1 4 diet programs which differed content. In case, fed a conventional step-down program that culminated following concentrations late finishing diet: castrates low (0.7%), low/medium (0.8%), medium/high (0.9%), high (1.0%), males (1.0%). At 25 wk age (5 post-second injection), individually weighed 2 (n = 96) pen closest median BW selected slaughtered. right side dissected into soft tissue, skin, bone.
