Preface
Swine production represents an important segment of the food animal industry in the United States and throughout the world. Pork is an important source of energy, protein, minerals, and vitamins, and is the most widely consumed red meat in the world. Proper formulation of diets is fundamental to the efficient production of swine in systems that address environmental concerns, and this process depends on a knowledge of the nutrient requirements of swine and the nutritional characteristics of nutrient sources. This tenth edition of Nutrient Requirements of Swine contains a reassessment of the nutrient requirements of swine and incorporates new information that was used to establish the requirements.
An abundance of new knowledge in swine nutrition has surfaced since the last edition of Nutrient Requirements of Swine was published in 1988. There is now a greater awareness and understanding of the effects of growth rate, carcass leanness, gender, health, environmental temperature, crowding, and carcass modifiers on the nutrient requirements of growing pigs. The higher nutrient requirements of prolific sows nursing large litters are now better understood. Additionally, new information on the bioavailability of nutrients is now available. A better understanding of the nutrient requirements and nutrient sources allows one to accurately formulate diets to meet the pig's dietary requirements without producing overages of nutrients that are excreted into the environment.
A major change was made in this edition in that the subcommittee provided the biological basis used to establish energy and amino acid requirements in the form of integrated mathematical equations (models). The models were developed by the subcommittee with the goal of keeping them simple, transparent (i.e., inner parts understandable to the user), and firmly anchored to empirical data. The process of model development and validation was an extremely laborious and time consuming task. While these versions of the models are not perfect, the subcommittee believes that they represent a marked improvement over previous systems of establishing requirements and provide the groundwork for development of improved models by future subcommittees.
The model for growing-finishing pigs allows the user to generate tables of nutrient requirements for various body weights of pigs, based on the pig's lean growth rate, gender, and environmental conditions. Similarly, the energy and amino acid requirements of gestating and lactating sows are estimated by models, and the user can generate nutrient requirement tables for sows with different body weights and weight gains during gestation and for various levels of lactational productivity. To accomplish this, a user-friendly computer program containing the models is included in this edition.
Requirements for amino acids in the models were generated on a true ileal digestible basis. The amino acid requirements are provided to the user on a true and apparent digestible basis as well as on a total basis, using corn and soybean meal as the major ingredients. The models also estimate energy requirements for gestating and lactating sows and energy intakes of growing pigs given ad libitum access to feed. Equations to estimate mineral and vitamin requirements at various body weights are also included in the growth model.
Other new information is presented in this tenth edition. Minimizing nutrient excretion is addressed and a discussion of nonnutritive feed additives was expanded. New information on the nutrient composition of an expanded list of feed ingredients and on the bioavailability of amino acids (true and apparent ileal basis), phosphorus, and other nutrients is also included in this edition. Finally, the nutrient requirement tables also provide more information than did those in previous editions.
This three-year study was conducted by the Subcommittee on Swine Nutrition, which was appointed in 1994 under the guidance of the Board on Agriculture's Committee on Animal Nutrition. The subcommittee began its work in November 1994 and the study was completed in December 1997, with the release of the report in April 1998.

Acknowledgments
The subcommittee would like to acknowledge the many scientists who conducted the research studies from which we were able to draw information to establish nutrient requirements. Appreciation is given to Kevin Halpin, chairman of the Nutrition Council Swine Committee, American Feed Industry Association, who assisted our subcommittee in setting goals and establishing direction for the revised publication, and to the many companies and individuals in the feed industry who provided useful information to the subcommittee. The subcommittee thanks Tim Stahly, Iowa State University, and Allan Schinckel, Purdue University, for insights gained from discussions with them during the initial stages of model development.
The subcommittee wishes to thank Charlotte Kirk Baer, Program Director, Board on Agriculture, for her untiring efforts in seeing this project to completion. Appreciation is also given to staff members Melinda Simons and Juliemarie Goupil for their assistance with the report, and to Mary Poos for her help during the first year of planning. Finally, the work by Ron Haugen, Easy Systems, Inc., in developing the software interface for the model is acknowledged.
The generous support of this study provided by the National Pork Producers Council is gratefully acknowledged. In addition, the subcommittee appreciates the support provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service, the Center for Veterinary Medicine of the Department of Health and Human Service's Food and Drug Administration, and the American Feed Industry Association.
