How protease supplementation improves growth performance in pigs

Chinese researchers evaluated the impact of protease supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood parameters and gut microbiota in growing pigs fed sorghum-based diets. They published about their findings in the peer-reviewed journal Animal. Sorghum is an excellent substitute for corn in pig diets due to its high energy content and low price. However, sorghum contains several anti-nutritional factors such as tannins. Those reduce nutrient digestibility and feed efficie
