Estimation of leucine requirement for weaned piglets. Prediction of feed to gain ratio according to the standardized ileal digestible (SID) leucine to lysine dietary content with a linear quadratic model. Observed values (o) from d7 to end (d28). Equation of prediction (parameters ± S.E.): Y = 3.867 (±0.335) − 0.0439 (±0.0069)*X + 0.000202 (±0.000035)*X2. Adjusted R2 = 0.401; Root mean square error (RMSE) = 0.163. For all the parameters, P < 0.0001. Estimated minimum feed to gain ratio at 1.48 g/g with 108.7% SID leucine to lysine.
