High Synthetic Amino Acid Use in Later Finishing Compromises Growth and Profit

Formulating to ideal amino acid pattern works — until it doesn’t. At some point in the displacement of soybean meal, growth begins to erode, and synthetic amino acid limits in the growing phase are much higher than are profitable for finishing pigs. Diet cost and auto-pilot formulation have become silent profit robbers without anyone knowing…except for the pig.
