To use a statistical model (Response Surface Methodology) to study the effect of combinations of effective antimicrobial compounds to inhibit Salmonella Typhimurium cell counts on pork. To validate the results from the model using a laboratory-scale validation.
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.
The objective of this research was to demonstrate interactive effects of pelleting and reducing particle size of corn on net energy and nutrient digestibility in feeds for growing pigs.
