Lysine Supplementation of Sorghum Grain-Cotton-Seed Meal Rations for Growing-Fattening Pigs^{1, 2,}

Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, College Station

Abstract

Lysine has been shown to increase gain and feed efficiency when added to a ration of sorghum grain and cottonseed meal for growing-fattening pigs.

Supplementing the rations with lysine increased feed consumption.

Supplementation with 0.3% lysine markedly increased growth and improved feed efficiency in both experiments. Amounts of lysine above 0.3% gave only small increments of growth rate.

¹ This investigation was supported in part by a grant-in-aid from the National Cottonseed Products Association.
