Cristobal, Minoy, Su A Lee , Carl M. Parsons, and Hans H. Stein. Feeding intact protein from soybean meal instead of corn and synthetic amino acids does not affect growth performance, carcass composition, blood cytokines, or mRNA abundance of intestinal amino acid transporters in growing pigs, but net energy tends to be greater in diets with soybean meal. Journal of Animal Science, 2025, 103, skaf349 doi.org/10.1093/jas/skaf349 Link to full text.
