Suplementação de aminoácidos funcionais em dietas de suínos e seu impacto no intestino
Palavras-chave:
aminoácidos sintéticos, proteína, suplementaçãoResumo
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a importância da inclusão de aminoácidos funcionais (AA) na dieta de suínos em fase inicial de crescimento sobre a saúde intestinal, o desenvolvimento e o crescimento. Os AA funcionais são aqueles que participam e regulam as principais vias metabólicas para melhorar a saúde, a sobrevivência, o crescimento, o desenvolvimento, a lactação e a reprodução dos suínos em estágios fisiológicos específicos. Durante períodos de estresse e estágios fisiológicos críticos, os suínos têm uma necessidade nutricional maior de alguns AA [1-1,5 % de arginina, 1 % de glutamato, 0,8-2 % de glutamina, 0,5-1 % de prolina, 0,5-2 % de glicina, AA de cadeia ramificada (0,19-0,55 % de isoleucina, 0. 07-0,82 % de leucina e 0,27-0,57 % de valina), 0,4-0,6 % de treonina, 0,12 % de metionina e 0,2-0,4 % de triptofano] para otimizar o desempenho da produção, pois o aumento desses AA ajuda a manter a saúde intestinal e facilita o funcionamento normal do intestino. A aplicação do conceito de AA funcional na formulação de rações permite entender e valorizar que a inclusão extra representa uma opção para fortalecer o sistema imunológico e favorecer o desenvolvimento e o crescimento intestinal. Em conclusão, a adição de AA funcionais à dieta de suínos jovens promove a saúde intestinal, o desenvolvimento e o crescimento.
