While I love pet nutrition, my first love is amino acid metabolism. An old set of data that we finally published looking at the effects of dietary cysteine on methionine and cysteine oxidation in baby pigs. @ABSc_UofG
https://t.co/RvmhFGGyPQ
journals.plos.org
Methionine (Met) is an indispensable amino acid (AA) in piglets. Met can synthesize cysteine (Cys), and Cys has the ability to reduce the Met requirement by 40% in piglets. However, whether this...

Júlia Pezzali is on a roll! Back to back papers in JAS, this time the focus is on creation of a semi-synthetic diet deficient in methionine that the cats would eat! @ABSc_UofG @OvcPetNutrition
https://t.co/oI6UwgyILh

The semisynthetic diet developed in this study can be used in future studies aiming to determine the AA requirements of adult cats.
