Determination of Dietary Amino Acid Digestibility in Humans [PDF]
The Journal of Nutrition, 2019 Dietary amino acid digestibility is a fundamental measure of importance in protein quality evaluation. Determining amino acid digestibility in humans, as the disappearance of an amino acid across the total digestive tract, has been discredited. Extensive cecal and colonic microbial metabolism renders fecal estimates of amino acids misleading.

The Protein Digestibility–Corrected Amino Acid Score [PDF]
The Journal of Nutrition, 2000 The protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) has been adopted by FAO/WHO as the preferred method for the measurement of the protein value in human nutrition. The method is based on comparison of the concentration of the first limiting essential amino acid in the test protein with the concentration of that amino acid in a reference ...

Effects of lysine levels on performance, blood parameters, and nutrient digestibility of Duroc barrows in the starter phase [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different levels of digestible lysine, at fixed amino acid ratios, in performance, blood parameters and diet digestibility of barrows from 15 to 30 kg.

Effect of Varying Levels of Dietary Tryptophan on Aggression and Abnormal Behavior in Growing Pigs
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 Body lesions, resulting from tail-biting and ear-biting, can result in decreased health and welfare in pigs. Tryptophan, an indispensable amino acid, is needed to support protein deposition, and the synthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is ...

Digestible lysine levels for laying hens and their effects on egg quality
Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2014 Egg quality of semi-heavy laying hens fed on low protein diets (14.0% CP) and on different lysine levels is evaluated, while maintaining the same ratio of digestible amino acids / digestible lysine.

Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 2012 SUMMARY Databases compiling the amino acid (AA) digestibility values of 20 common poultry feed ingredients from 2 commercial companies, Evonik Degussa (Burr Ridge, IL; chick assays) and Ajinomoto Heartland (Chicago, IL; rooster assays), were used to investigate the influence of AA concentration on observed digestibility values.

Determination of True Ileal Amino Acid Digestibility in the Growing Pig for Calculation of Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) [PDF]
The Journal of Nutrition, 2020 Digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS) has been recommended by the FAO for the evaluation of protein quality in human foods, but the application of DIAAS is currently limited because of a lack of published data on the true ileal amino acid (AA) digestibility of AAs in foods. The importance of DIAAS is highlighted.
