“Furthermore, Arg (p < ….05), Ile (p < 0.05), Val (p < 0.05), Ala (p < 0.05), Glu (p < 0.05), Ser (p < 0.05), total essential amino acid (p < 0.05) and total nonessential amino acid (p < 0.05) concentrations linearly and quadratically increased with increasing doses of NCG.”
“Overall, the addition of NCG increased plasma Arg, Ile , Val, TEAA and TNEAA concentration, which in turn resulted in a higher N utilization and, therefore, higher average daily gain in NCG-fed bulls, providing baseline data for the widespread application of NCG in beef cattle production.”
“The addition of NCG increased concentrations of plasma Arg, Ile , Val, total essential amino acid and total nonessential amino acid, which in turn resulted in higher N utilization and CP digestibility for growth and, therefore, higher average daily gain in NCG-fed bulls.”
