Kansas State University researchers reported that feeding reduced amino acid levels slowed finishing pig growth by about 14 pounds over a 44-day period. The study targeted the last 70 to 80 pounds of 200-pound pigs and gained three and a half to four weeks of marketing flexibility.
The team said the approach could help during any market disruption, including the pandemic.
