This study investigated the effect of antibiotics and low crude protein (CP) diets on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and disease incidence of growing pigs. Barrows (n = 180; 59-d-old; 18.5 ± 2.5 kg BW; AGPIC 800 × TN70) were distributed in a randomized complete block design, in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement, nine replicates, and five...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of diets with and without antibiotics supplementation and diets with 18.5 and 13.0% crude protein (CP) on growth performance, carcass characteristics, disease incidence, fecal microbiota, immune response, and antioxidant capacity of growing pigs. One hundred and eighty pigs (59-d-old; 18.5 ± 2.5 kg) were...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of supplementing arginine (Arg) + glutamine (Gln) replacing antibiotics on performance, immune response, and antioxidant capacity of pigs in the growing phase. One hundred and fifty 63-d-old pigs with initial body weight (BW) of 25.0 ± 1.46 kg were distributed in a randomized block design, with three treatmen...
