Partial replacement of soybean meal with alfalfa meal in reduced-protein diets for finishing pigs: effects on muscle nutrient composition, nitrogen utilization, and gut microbiota

This study evaluated a dietary reformulation involving partial replacement of soybean meal with 15% alfalfa meal and a moderate reduction in dietary crude protein (CP), focusing on muscle nutrient composition, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen (N) excretion, and gut microbiota in...
