Abstract

The effect of fibre level in protein-free diets on the recovery and amino acid composition of endogenous protein collected from the ileum in pigs was studied. Although the Heal nitrogen excretion increased slightly with dietary fibre level, no significant difference was observed on the amino acid recovery between diets containing 30, 60,90 or 120 g wood cellulose per kg.
