Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Scores (DIAAS) in Pork Products
September 28, 2023By Hans H. Stein
These findings can help people make informed dietary decisions to get enough of the required amino acids. In addition, as consumers become more aware of the importance of protein quality, they are likely to be more willing to pay a premium for pork products with high protein quality.

Evaluation of Late Finishing Space Allowance and Marketing Strategy and the Strategic use of Hyper-Doses of Phytase to Improve Production Performance and Profits
September 19, 2023By Eric Van Heugten
This project was designed to evaluate the impacts that hyper-dosing levels of phytase (defined here as 4,500 to 5,000 FTU/kg of feed) on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and serum chemistry of late-finishing pigs housed under space restriction or marketed using two different marketing strategies.
