Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary digestible energy (DE) and digestible lysine/DE ratio (DLys/DE) on growth performance and carcass quality of Landrace ? Rongchang crossbred growing pigs. A total of 144 healthy crossbred pigs with an initial body weight of 27.05 kg were blocked by body weight and gender, and were allotted to 36 pens (4 pigs per pen), and pens were assigned randomly within blocks to dietary treatments arranged in a 2 ? 3 factorial design, with two levels of DE (13.00 or 14.50 MJ/kg) and three DLys/DE (0.50, 0.60, or 0.70 g/MJ). For this experiment, these indices were determined such as growth performance, carcass trait, meat quality and serum biochemical indices. The results showed as follows: increasing DE level increased average daily gain (ADG) (P<0.05), carcass weight (P<0.05), dressing percentage (P<0.05), the contents of urea nitrogen (UN) (P<0.05) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P=0.07) in serum, and decreased feed to gain ratio (F/G) (P<0.05), average daily feed intake (ADFI) (P<0.05), drip loss (P<0.05) and triglyceride (TG) content in serum (P=0.06). With DLys/DE increasing, loin muscle area (P<0.05), the contents of UN and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in serum (P<0.05) and F/G (P=0.05) were increased, and intramuscular fat (IMF) content (P<0.05) and average backfat thickness (P=0.09) were decreased. DE譊Lys/DE interactions were observed in lean meat percentage, UN content and muscle pH45 min and pH24 h (P<0.05). Under the same amino acid pattern condition, the results suggest that dietary DE and DLys levels affect growth performance and carcass quality of growing pigs, and those for optimal performance and carcass quality are 14.50 MJ/kg and 0.73%, respectively.
