L-arginine increased (P < 0.05) the activity of nitr<strong>ic</strong> oxide synthetase in bloodand jejunum mucosa at d 18. The duodenum concentration of nitr<strong>ic</strong> oxide inpiglets supplemented with 0.4% L-arginine was generally higher (P < 0.05) thanthat of the other 2 groups at d 11. Dietary supplementation with 0.4% and 0.8%L-arginine increased (P < 0.05) the activities of inducible nitr<strong>ic</strong> oxide synthetase,glutamine synthetase, and ornithine decarboxylase in jejunum mucosa at d 18.Dietary supplementation with 0.4 and 0.8% L-arginine decreased (P < 0.05)arginase activity in ileum mucosa and putrescine production in jejunum mucosaat d 11. The concentrations of spermine in jejunum mucosa were increased (P< 0.05) by 0.4% L-arginine supplementation at d 18. At d 11, the villus heightand villus area in duodenum and jejunum were higher (P < 0.05) in pigletssupplemented with 0.8% L-arginine than in unsupplemented piglets but not inileum, respectively. At d 18, the villus height and villus area in ileum were atelevated levels by supplementation with 0.8% L-arginine (P < 0.05). Theseresults suggested that dietary arginine supplementation improved growth andintestine development in piglets by regulating the production of intestinal nitr<strong>ic</strong>oxide and polyamine in jejunum, increasing the villus height in intestine ofneonatal piglets and stimulating enzyme synthesis of intestinal mucosa.Key Words: intestinal histomorphology, L-arginine, artif<strong>ic</strong>ially reared neonatalpig55 Effects of dietary glutamine on growth performance, serumhormone, and intestinal mucosa enzyme activities in artif<strong>ic</strong>ially rearedneonatal pigs.

China,2College of Animal Science, South China Agr<strong>ic</strong>ultural University, Guangzhou,Guangdong, P.R. China.This study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary glutaminesupplementation on growth performance, serum hormone status, and intestinalmucosa enzyme activities in artif<strong>ic</strong>ially reared neonatal pigs. The neonatal pigsat 4 d of age were selected and divided into 3 groups according to parity andBW. The control group was fed a basal diet, and the other 2 groups were fed thesame basal diet with supplementation of 0.5 and 1.0% glutamine, respectively.At the end of 14 and 21 d, one piglet per repl<strong>ic</strong>ate was slaughtered; blood andjejunal mucosa were sampled. Dietary supplementation with 0.5 and 1.0%glutamine had no signif<strong>ic</strong>ant influence on serum IGF-1 and INS concentrations,BW at 14 and 21 d of age, ADG at 4 to 14 d of age, and 4 to 21 d of age (P >0.05). The use of 1.0% glutamine increased ADFI at 4 to 14 d of age (P < 0.05).Adding 0.5% glutamine increased the concentrations of gastrin in serum at 14d of age (P < 0.05). Supplemental 1.0% glutamine signif<strong>ic</strong>antly increased theconcentrations of gastrin in serum at 21 d of age (P < 0.05). Adding 0.5 and1.0% glutamine signif<strong>ic</strong>antly increased the activity of ornithine decarboxylase injejunal mucosal at 21 d of age (P < 0.05). Supplementation with 1.0% glutaminedecreased the activities of glutamine synthetase and ornithine aminotransferase(P < 0.05) and increased the activities of Ca/Mg-ATPase and Na/K-ATPasein jejunal mucosa at 21 d of age signif<strong>ic</strong>antly (P < 0.05). Therefore, dietaryglutamine supplementation could improve growth performance and intestinaldevelopment in artif<strong>ic</strong>ially reared neonatal pigs.Key Words: intestinal mucosa, glutamine, neonatal piglet56 Estimation of the true ileal digestible threonine:lysine ratiofor nursery pigs fed diets containing distillers dried grain with solubles.Z. P. Zhu* 1,2 , R. B. Hinson 1 , L. Ma 1 , D. F. Li 2 , and G. L. Allee 1 , 1 University ofMissouri, Columbia, MO, USA, 2 China Agr<strong>ic</strong>ultural University, Beijing, P. R.China.Two experiments with 2,011 nursery pigs were conducted to estimate the trueileal digestible threonine:lysine (TID Thr:Lys) ratio for 12 to 24 kg nurserypigs fed diets containing 30% distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS).In Exp. 1, a total of 1,005 pigs (TR-4 × C22; 16.7 ± 0.2 kg) were allottedto 1 of 6 treatments in a randomized complete block design with 7 repl<strong>ic</strong>atepens (20 to 25 pigs/pen) per treatment. Dietary treatments included one cornsoybeanmeal control diet and 5 diets containing 30% DDGS with levels ofTID Thr:Lys ratios of 53, 57, 61, 65, and 69%, respectively. In Exp. 2, a totalof 1,006 pigs (PIC22 × 327; 12.6 ± 0.2 kg) were allotted to 1 of 7 treatmentswith 6 repl<strong>ic</strong>ate pens (22 to 25 pigs/pen) per treatment. Dietary treatment wasthe same to Exp. 1, except with a lower TID Thr:Lys ratio of 49%. All the dietswere formulated to contain 1.15% TID lysine. Dietary threonine content wasincreased by adding L-threonine. Growth data were collected for 14 and 19 din Exp. 1 and 2, respectively. In Exp. 1, increasing TID Thr:Lys ratio had noeffect (P > 0.05) on ADG and ADFI, but improved (linear, P < 0.05; quadrat<strong>ic</strong>,P < 0.05) G:F (0.597, 0.623, 0.624, 0.621, and 0.621, respectively). The DDGSdecreased (P < 0.01) pig ADG (0.671 vs. 0.636 kg/d), with no effect (P > 0.05)on ADFI and G:F. In Exp. 2, increasing TID Thr:Lys ratio improved (linear,P < 0.01; quadrat<strong>ic</strong>, P < 0.01) G:F (0.585, 0.623, 0.628, 0.632, 0.618, and0.632, respectively) with no effect (P > 0.05) on ADG and ADFI. The DDGSdecreased (P < 0.01) pig ADG, ADFI, and G:F. In conclusion, a TID Thr:Lysratio of 61% appears optimal for feed eff<strong>ic</strong>iency in 12- to 24-kg nursery pigs feddiets containing 30% DDGS.Key Words: nursery pig, distillers dried grain with solubles, threonine57 Effects of lysine and protein intake during two consecutivelactations on subsequent reproductive performance in multiparous sows.F. R. Huang, H. B. Liu, F. Zhang, and J. Peng*, Huazhong Agr<strong>ic</strong>ulturalUniversity, Wuhan, Hubei, China.The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of lysine and protein intakeduring two consecutive lactations on subsequent reproductive performance inmultiparous sows. Experiment was designed in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangementwith 2 levels of total lysine (0.95 and 1.10%) and 2 levels of CP (17.5 and19.0%). The experimental period are composed of two consecutive lactationsand mediate gestation. The treatment diets were the same for all sows during2 consecutive lactations. The first lactating sows were housed in the halfopenfarrowing room with an average ambient temperature of 26.30 ± 1.68°Cat 0800 h and 30.35 ± 2.76°C at 1400 h, respectively. The average ambienttemperature of the second lactating farrowing room was 24.42 ± 2.18°C at 0800h and 27.33 ± 3.67°C at 1400 h, respectively. Treatment diets did not affectADFI of the first lactating sows (4.71, 5.01, 5.23, and 4.90 kg/d, respectively),and the second lactating sows (6.02, 5.52, 5.95, and 5.65 kg/d, respectively;P > 0.05). Compared with the 17.5% CP groups, 19.0% CP groups increasedthe first and second lactating sow CP intake (P < 0.05). Likewise, the 1.10%lysine diets increased the first and second lactating sow lysine intake than the0.95% lysine diets (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the 17.5% CP and 1.10% lysinediet decreased the first lactating sow BW loss than the 17.5% CP and 0.95%lysine diet (P < 0.05). However, the 1.10% lysine diet increased the secondlactating sow BW loss than the 0.95% lysine diet (P < 0.01). Remarkably, the19.0% CP diets decreased the first lactating sows BW loss than the 17.5% CPdiets (P < 0.05). Over 2 consecutive lactations, the 19.0% CP diets decreasedthe subsequent culling rate compared with the 17.5% CP diets (P < 0.05). Theseresults ind<strong>ic</strong>ated increasing lysine intake under the low feed intake conditionwas benef<strong>ic</strong>ial for reducing lactation weight loss, whereas increasing lysineintake under normal feed intake condition induced lactation weight loss.Key Words: lysine, protein, subsequent reproduction performance58 The difference in distribution of activity and mRNAabundance of oxidation enzymes for conversion of DL-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyrate and D-methionine resulted in similar system<strong>ic</strong>availability of L-methionine in piglets.

Six barrows (35 d old, 8.6± 1.4 kg), implanted with arterial, portal, and mesenter<strong>ic</strong> catheters, were feda DL-methionine (DL-Met) or DL-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyrate (DL-HMTB)diet once hourly and infused intramesenter<strong>ic</strong>ally with 1% p-amino hippurate.Arterial and portal blood samples were taken at hourly intervals until 6 h of tracerinfusion, and pigs were then killed for collection of muscle, intestine, liver, andkidney samples. The AA concentration in plasma samples was determined byion-exchange chromatography. The mRNA abundance of D-amino acid oxidase(D-AAOX), D-2-hydroxy acid dehydrogenase (D-HADH), and L-2-hydroxy acidoxidase (L-HAOX) in tissue samples was determined using semiquantitative19
