Oral administration of L-arginine hydrochloride to low-birth-weight piglets improves their growth and survival

An abstract of a study by Long et al conducting an experiment to determine the effects of l-arginine supplementation on the growth and survival of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) piglets is presented. The survival rates of the IUGR piglets were 50, 75, 90, and 90%, respectively, for the 0, 0....

Zusammenfassung:An abstract of a study by Long et al conducting an experiment to determine the effects of l-arginine supplementation on the growth and survival of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) piglets is presented. The survival rates of the IUGR piglets were 50, 75, 90, and 90%, respectively, for the 0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 g l-arginine/d per kilogram BW groups. Growth and survival of IUGR piglets can be improved through supplementation of l-arginine HCl.
