Pigs Can Detect Multiple Amino Acid Deficiencies in a Choice Feeding Setting
Pigs can detect multiple AA deficiencies and compensate by consuming AA-supplemented diets. In a two-choice setting, pigs proportionally decrease consumption of a supplemented diet with increased dietary AA concentration. However, when given the choice between individual AA-supplemented diets, pigs proportionally decrease consumption of a highly concentrated Val diet and increase preference for a highly concentrated Trp diet.
