Berghaus D, Haese E, Weishaar R, Sarpong N, Kurz A, Seifert J 2023 Journal of animal science

Abstract

Nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUE) and lysine utilization efficiency (LUE) are key indicators of sustainable pork production and vary depending on nutritional and non-nutritional factors. The objective was to study NUE and LUE together with concentrations of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and other metabolites in…
