Veterinary microbiology, 137(3-4), 345-353 (2009-03-10)
To compensate for possible decreases in animal production due to restrictions on the use of antibiotics as growth promoters, several non-antibiotic alternatives have been investigated. Organic acid supplementation (OAS) of feed or water has shown some promising results for affecting

To determine whether portal plasma flow (PPF) and net portal appearance of amino acids (AA) could be affected by 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyrate (HMB), six barrows (35-day-old, 8.6+/-1.4 kg), implanted with arterial, portal and mesenteric catheters, were fed a DL-methionine (as the control)
