Do L-Lys sulfate and L-Lys HCl impact pig diets differently?

The development of L-Lys sulfate has given pork producers and swine nutritionists an alternative to L-Lys HCl as a source for supplementing dietary lysine – typically the first limiting amino acid in diets for swine.

1. Interactions between source and level were not significant for all the responses (P ≥ 0.236).
2. Difference between non-supplemented (basal) and supplemented lysine diets (P ≤ 0.01).
3. Linear effect due to lysine supplementation (P≤ 0.02), quadratic effect was not significant for any of the variables (P≥ 0.1).
