A total lysine:crude protein ratio higher than 7.35% may reduce growth performance in post-weaned piglets.

Fibre source as well as its concentration may promote threonine losses in growing pigs.

Glutamine supplementation in the diet of lactating gilts may avoid intramuscular glutamine decreases besides providing optimal nutrition for the development of the piglet.

The increasing in large neutral aminoacids:tryptophan ratio does not affect tryptophan requirements in finishing pigs.

The factorial method used in this study to estimate the dynamic lysine requirements of individual pigs seems appropriate for pigs fed between 25 to 55 kg BW.

L-arginine supplementation during late gestation does not affect piglet performance and milk yield.

Arginine has a key role in metabolism regulation in weanling pigs.

Increasing tryptophan:lysine ratio from 15 to 21% in DDGS rich diets improves carcass yields in finishing pigs.

N-acetylcysteine reduces the intestinal damage in piglets by lipopolysaccharide.

Medium-high lysine content diet, the best combination of immunologically castrated pigs.

Pyridoxine (5 mg/kg) is not a major factor for Trp metabolism.

The dietary protein content also affects the standardized ileal digestibility of most amino acids.

7.4 g threonine per kg covers the requirement of piglets for rapid growth and maximal N retention as well as for supporting gut barrier function.

Autoclaving but not oven drying reduces the concentration and digestibility of AA in soybean meal.

Different feeding programs might be needed for barrows and gilts to optimize the production of high quality dry-cured hams.
