Kent Nutrition Group reports phase 2 trial results showing that DL-Methionine-induced amino acid imbalance reduced growth and feed intake in finishing hogs. The approach is being studied as a way to hold market hogs at viable weights while packing plant capacity is constrained.
Feeding tactics that slow hog weight gain could extend time on feed and reduce near-term hog marketings, while adding demand for methionine in these programs.
After 69 past neutral disease events, Lean Hogs moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.5%), and -1.6% over 20.
